Overview
Work Experience
Co-Founder and CTO
2019 - Current
We made Okay because, as software engineers and then as managers, we were shocked by the lack of visibility into the bottlenecks that slow engineering teams down. We decided to build an analytics tool on solid foundations - focusing on team signals as opposed to big-brother style monitoring of individuals, and giving our users the same amount of querying power they would expect from an APM or telemetry tool. We’ve led teams from 5 to 150 engineers in startups and in big tech companies. The blockers to productivity are similar: long meetings, context switching, oncall pages eating into the team’s work-life balance, slow local environments, inefficient code review culture, etc. Fortunately, we live in a thriving ecosystem of dev tools with great APIs. Okay acquires, cleans up and enriches all this data with information about your org, squads, remote offices - you name it. We model common metrics like Cycle Time and Interview Load for you, and you can also bring your own events to get a full picture of your team’s work. Then, we give you a flexible query and alerting engine to root-cause issues and drive improvements in the long run.
