I’m running a new workshop related to AI and distributed systems. Click here to open the workshop page.

I love working for HeroDevs. We’re patching old, unsupported OSS with CVE fixes so that you “pass the audit”. It’s as simple as that. I joined HeroDevs last year in September and I felt that I’m in a right place at the right time.

The company supported me in many areas - I could contribute to OSS, I could do some side projects. One of those projects was reppie.ai a reputation management application.

One day I had an email sent to me by Erhan Seven, the CEO of Obenan.ai. I wasn’t aware of their existance, never heard of them before. He wanted to meet with me and talk. I checked what the company does and it turned out that they also do reputation management! It was my chance to sell reppie.ai!

So we met and it turned out that they don’t want to buy reppie.ai, but they want me to become their CTO! I was speachless!

I was really surprised and asked him how on earth he found me? Here you can check how that process looked from his side.

After thorough analysis I decided to take this opportunity - how often can one become a CTO?!

So it’s official, starting from June I’ll be a full time CTO at Obenan.ai!!!
