On the Shoulders of Giants: Two New BatchBlue Hires

Things are looking up in the new BatchBlue offices these days. And by things, I mean myself who has to stand on tiptoes when talking to our two most recent hires, each of whom stand a foot above me. Not only are they doubling the size of our mighty tech team, they are helping us fill in the delightfully high ceilings in our new BatchHaüs. For a SaaS company it’s great to find smart guys with their heads in the clouds.
Let me introduce you to:
Alex Taylor (pronounced “tay-lor” and found at @goldenmeanie) is the talent behind the recent BatchBook redesign. Alex is a long time friend of the BatchBlue team, largely because of his excellent taste in footwear. He is our senior designer who will be pushing BatchBook, HTML5 and loungewear to the limits in our super secret new project.
Eric Krause (pronounced “krow-zee” and found at @erickrause) is our new RoR master. We found Eric through the local Ruby group and won his heart with a giant pile of M&Ms (we often bribe with chocolate). Eric will be syncing up some batch integrations and helping train the new recruits as we continue to grow our elite team.
Join us in welcoming Alex and Eric to the BatchBlue family. We have some very exciting projects in the works, so are thrilled to have their tall talents supporting us.
Editor’s note: Wow, KrauSAY! really is taller than Alex!!
