I would just say from a personal standpoint, we live in an amazing time, irrespective of what people think. It is really amazing to see what's happening. I'm bullish. I'm bullish for the future. I'm generally an optimist. I can see technology making our staff's lives better. Not having to say use Excel, which would have been the primary quote unquote technology in our business.
That is, it's amazing to see our staff focusing their time on much more productive items because the technology is taking care of some of the things that made them less productive. My name is Shalam Adan. I am the co-founder and chief growth officer of Formidium.
This is CodeStory. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries. Six months moonlighting. Nothing on the back end. Who share what it takes to change an industry. I don't exactly know what to do next. It took many goes to get right. Who built the teams that have their back. The company is its people. The teams help each other achieve. Most proud of our team.
Keeping scalability top of mind. All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as we grow. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve. Took it off the shelf and dusted it off and tried to begin. To ride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology.
