I spent the first 10 years of my career trying to be a professional cyclist. I used to do web development part time to make some money on the side. I wasn't particularly good at either.

After a growing sense of my own mortality combined with a bunch of large crashes put me off continuing with my cycling career, I bootstrapped an online marketing company to several million dollars a year.

I wanted more experience of working in a VC backed startup, so I could work on something really ambitious. I moved to Arachnys, and somehow wound up as a their VP of Sales for a little over 4 years, where I used to manage a team selling very large enterprise software deals. We learned how to take our sales from an average of $5K/year to over $1M/year.

I started working with Tim on a few ideas that didn't work out in August 2019. We built PostHog during the Y Combinator W20 batch, and launched in February 2020. You can work out what I've been up to since by stalking me online.

I live in the UK but I travel a lot to the US (5 to 6 times a year) to top up our ambition and to spend time with my cofounder.

I've been coding since I've been 11, which isn't as long ago as I'd like it to be. Someone first paid me to write code when I was 13 (though I'm sure they regretted it) and someone else gainfully employed me when I was 16.

Originally from the Netherlands, though I quickly moved to London (I do not generally enjoy nice weather) where I joined Arachnys and shortly afterwards met James Hawkins. I went from being a software engineer, to product manager, to "leading" an R&D team, which consisted of just me.

After four years I thought it was time to go do something else and had lined up a new job. Roughly 37 seconds after it was announced James wanted to "grab a beer." While plying me with alcohol, he convinced me to give up this fancy new job and instead start a startup with him.

In my 'spare' time, I fall down snowy mountains, wrestle in the mud over an egg-shaped ball and watch a lot of Bondi beach in order to perfect my Australian accent.

At PostHog, we sponsor a hedgehog for every new team member! Our donations support the work of the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust in the UK, where the hedgehog population has sadly fallen by 50% over the last 20 years.

As HIR, Max oversees all hedgehog-related activity, including consuming an omnivorous diet, hibernating during the winter months, and being illegal to own as a pet in Italy and some US states. Max likes sleeping in dens and dislikes badgers.

Max also jumps in on community questions and tries to answer as many as possible (with a little help from Inkeep)!

I first got into programming in 1994 when I wanted to make my own computer games... and asked my father for help. He sat me behind a Turbo Basic interpreter, wrote PRINT "Marius on tubli poiss" and then left me there. I was 8 years old.

Luckily we had a Yamaha YIS-805/128R2 lying around... with floppy disks full of random .BAS files. I was hooked. Cue to the beautiful loops of CLS, PRINT and GOTO statements that ensued. I even made some games where you could move two dinosaurs who got points when they kissed each other. It was glorious.

I also got into "web development" in 1997 after seeing Netscape at my mother's university. They even provided me with a generous 10MB of space to host my own beautiful website, complete with animated gifs, a Mortal Kombat fanpage and a strong recommendation to use 800x600 with HiColor!

This was followed by years of writing games in C++ and then writing tutorials about them, coding websites in Perl, PHP, Java and Ruby... and "losing" a decade as the CTO of two failed startups.

On the side I built an open source database analytics platform... and when that got on Hacker News, James reached out... and the rest is history.

These days I live in Belgium and code state management libraries in JavaScript for fun.

While in college I helped cofound a social dining platform. I spent two years trying to get strangers to cook and dine with each other. In reality, it turned into a 2 year stint of teach yourself as much mobile development as you can while simultaneously trying to build a usable platform. My cofounders and I had our fair share of contemplating dropping out of school and becoming a unicorn in 5 years—it didn't work out.

I currently am the team lead for PostHog's Data warehouse product. I've previously been a part of building out the initial product analytics suite and feature flagging product.

To end with some obligatory "I dO MoRE ThAN COdE" details: I enjoy snowboarding and skiing and I'm currently trying to cycle more. I've also taken a sudden interest in making my own clothes. Ambitions subject to change as always though.

When I was a kid the first thing I remember wanting to be was a pilot, so naturally here I am knee deep in code and data!

Growing up was slightly different in Florida. Things that are normal there are growing up in the water and spending almost all of your free time in it. In the Gulf of Mexico for me. We’d go swimming, scuba diving, or fishing in that warm body of water almost every weekend.

Nowadays I’m spending my free time on a bike finding some new trail up in the northern bits of the Bay Area that I call home now. If not on a bike you’ll find my friends and I on a hike either around here or over in Tahoe or some National Forest east of here. Lately I’m trying to get back into flying. I’ve got about 80 hours of flight in the book, but still don’t have my ticket! It’s time to change that. In the winter time you can find me ruining skis on some mountain.

In my professional life I’ve generally managed mopping up the 1’s and 0’s. I’ve led data at an upstart music streaming company, and dove way too deep into the depths of the comment section leading data at Disqus. Kept an eye on a fleet of Autonomous Ubers. Most recently I combined my interest in bikes with data leading data engineering at Jump, still the best micromobility company out there.

When I’m not out and about in nature you can find me at home with my cat Tesla and Taco our goofball of a Lab Corgi mix.

I am from the UK - so by default I love the pub, marmite and tea (but not all at once, that would be a sin).

I spent my youth trying to master fine art, after my teacher said I wasn't very good and that I should try something else. In my stubbornness I decided to prove them wrong, and here I am - a designer.

After studying art through school, I took Graphic Design at university and graduated in summer 2020. But instead of a summer of fun, I was faced with a crashing economy, a pandemic and a collapsing job market. But thankfully, after putting my portfolio up on twitter, I was contacted by PostHog a mere 24 hours later, and the rest is history.

I am now their Graphic Designer, and I couldn't be happier. I spend my days designing the product’s brand and most importantly drawing hedgehogs doing silly things.

When I was seven, I liked to spend my free time assembling LEGO sets. What I enjoyed even more was building new things out of all the bricks I had from disassembling sets. Then one day I deleted shell32.dll from the family Windows XP PC.

It was at that moment I realized computers are much closer to LEGO bricks than magic.

The fascination with computers progressed from that point. In high school, I became passionate about computer science and software for real. I built up a portfolio of open-source projects – some I still maintain, some one-off, and some I've yet to finish. At the end of school, I was not entirely convinced about spending four years at university. It seemed much more worthwhile and fun to learn by building something interesting, so I thought: I might just as well apply to some tech startups and see what happens. This worked out with PostHog, which I've found via Hacker News's monthly "Who is Hiring?" thread!

I've acquired some other hobbies too. Juggling them is a challenge:

• astronomy (I was an astrophysics nerd before I realized software is cool too and much easier to make a career out of)
• travel (goal: visiting all European capitals, currently at 23 out of 46)
• architecture (buildings and spaces are just as tricky to figure out as software user experiences, except much more permanent)
• design (my drawing skills are non-existent though)
• photography (take a look at my Unsplash profile)
• cinema and TV (A24 and HBO)
• music (some genres: electropop, post-classical, soundtracks)
• LEGO (still, just much more advanced)

Born and raised in the UAE, I'm British-Lebanese, and grew up in fun places like Botswana, Romania, and Serbia. Now based in London, I live with my wife Steph and two sons.

I'm the exec who oversees all things operational and go-to-market at PostHog - that's sales, marketing, support, people, ops, and finance. I was previously COO at Vitl, and before that did basically every role except engineering at ROLI.

I love terrible jokes, beautifully crafted sandwiches and looking at designer houses I will never live in. I like to occasionally torment my son with my piano playing and trying to maintain my 50 books/year reading streak.

(It's pronounced WADDLE-low.)

The most interesting webmaster at PostHog.com

As one of the few PostHoggers who never attempted to enter the world of professional cycling, I instead spend much of my free time exploring new coffee shops or wine bars - generally sipping an iced almond milk latte in the morning and a nice sangria when it hits 5:00 somewhere. On Tuesdays, you can be sure to find me at a Taco Tuesday. (I live for Tuesdays.)

I was once labeled "The migrating goose of PostHog" by CEO James Hawkins, as I spent 3+ years traveling the United States in an RV. After a few years, I settled down in Tampa, Florida where I swapped the truck and RV for a golf cart, which is now my primary mode of transportation!

When I'm not wireframing in Balsamiq, designing in Figma, or writing Tailwind CSS, I'm likely building legos with my ~~two year old~~ ~~three year old~~ four year old or changing diapers on my ~~newborn~~ one year old.

Since I'm a dad, I am now legally entitled to make dad jokes. So in light of the rich cycling history of our company, I present the following: "Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? It was two tired."

In order, I've been: a clown, a morgue cleaner, a chainsaw salesman, a games journalist, and a content consultant. Product marketing for startups seemed like a natural next step.

I'm passionate about long-distance hiking, videogame preservation, and dive bars. If you use PostHog and get an email from us, I probably sent it. Hello!

Some of the responsibilities I own include: customer stories, startups programs, email marketing, partnerships, PR, driving user feedback, sales support, copywriting, product launches, feature announcements, incident comms, basically any time we have to talk to customers, worrying overly about things, and telling everyone that it is time for lunch.

When I started I couldn't code at all, but I've pushed myself and have learned to ship everything from small computer games to small features that help us drive beta adoption.

I'm currently working on too many things to explain here.

When I'm not working, I enjoy creating and listening to music. I also enjoy cooking (haven't killed anyone yet), hiking, and drinking a good beer. Sometimes at the same time.

I've always wanted to solve problems. So, I studied biochemistry. And discovered I am not a biochemist. During and after university, I played in several bands. Without changing the world of music. And fell into a job in I.T. support. For several years I managed I.T. for The British Mountaineering Council. I taught myself to program. Studied an MSc in Computer Science part-time. And discovered that writing software is how I love solving problems.

I'm half Italian. When I was young I refused to learn to speak Italian. Ma sto imparando ora! To make amends I've been learning to make Neapolitan style pizza and getting pretty good.

There is a worrying link between the number of programming languages I've used and the number of children I've had. For a while, I was saying I had five children. Until someone pointed out I was counting the dog. My labrador retriever Yoko is - as measured by photos taken - my favourite child.

Since becoming a software engineer full-time. I've worked at software agencies. At a startup, building Google Analytics for the physical world (which was like magic when it worked). And spent several fulfilling years leading teams at Co-op Digital. I think in diagrams and draw on tables. And I am never happier than in the moments after I have managed to figure out how to make something simpler.

I work pretty hard to remember you can work hard and still have fun.

I've jumped around a lot, professionally. Once upon a time, I studied meditation and the brain by training drug users to meditate and then putting them in an MRI machine. It was a lot of fun, but ultimately, I realized the academic thing was not for me. After that, I cut my teeth at a few software companies, where I worked with a ton of users, helping them build all manner of fun and interesting things to automate their businesses.

I found that I enjoyed making operations "just work" for businesses and developing relationships with customers quite a lot, so I spent the next couple of years consulting, doing just that. Eventually, I teamed up with a friend's agricultural business, where I built out an e-commerce store to sell poultry early in the pandemic, and built tools to improve operations. Ultimately, there are only so many technical problems to solve for a small poultry business, which is why I ended up at PostHog.

When I'm not PostHogging, I can be found cooking, hiking, collecting tinned fish, playing tennis, or pretending I'm 80 years old and contemplatively smoking a pipe.

I currently lead the Sales and Customer Success Team at PostHog, and am personally responsible for large customer relationships too. I'm a firm believer in doing sales in a non-salesy way and meet customers where they are at in their buying process.

After studying four years of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in the UK I realised that I enjoyed presenting to humans and helping them solve their own problems with technology rather than hacking away at my (middling) code all day; thus a career in Customer Success was born. My main focus in this journey has been helping people automate lots of different things:

• IBM (7 years) - automate build and deployment
• CA Technologies (1.5 years) - automate build and deployment but with a different product
• Chef Software (5 years) - automate infrastructure and compliance
• Logz.io (1 year) - automate monitoring and observability

As you can tell, my passion is helping people automate all of the things so along the way I've picked up skills in DevOps, Cloud, and many adjacent areas. I also led technical teams at Chef and Logz.io so I'm passionate about developing high-performing groups of customer-obsessed people. Notwithstanding my above comment about avoiding coding 9-5, I do like to keep my hands dirty with technology and I've been maintaining a website for people with Type 1 Diabetes (like myself) since 2008 which has helped me level up in Ruby, Javascript, Containers and lots more.

I live in Sheffield in the North of the UK with my wife, 3 young boys and a black labrador so have a very busy home life, mainly focused on taking the boys to various sporting clubs, long walks in the woods and Lego building.

When not working or family-ing I enjoy gaming on the Xbox (I've recently enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2 and Jedi Survivor), watching superhero films and home automation. My all-time favourite TV show is The Office: An American Workplace and 90% of the GIFs I use come from there.

Previously a journalist. I worked in online publishing when magazines were still a big deal. I started out as a consumer tech editor in the mid-2000s. Later in my career I moved into audience development, including stints at Time Inc. (TrustedReviews), Condé Nast (WIRED), and LBG Media.

At PostHog I edit all the words, keep an eye on marketing metrics, and feed the Google bots. I also run our newsletter, Product for Engineers.

Things I like: Dogs, cricket, Formula 1 (motorsport in general), good sci-fi, online sim racing (and taking it way too seriously), really good words. En dashes.

Things I dislike: Marvel and DC movies, Em dashes (see my README)

I have lived coast to coast and spent the last fifteen years of my career in talent and people! There’s just something satisfying about the hustle for placing great talent. I've worked in small to mid-sized companies, spending the last nine years in start-ups building and scaling teams.

Outside of my career, I enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, DIY projects, sunday brunch, and spending time with my insanely huge family (9 siblings and 17 nieces/nephews in counting)!

I am also a big foodie - I am always on the hunt for some good soup dumpling and ramen!

Servus! 👋 By day I'm a Software Engineer jumping into every part of the stack I can get my hands on - by night I'm a legendary amateur musician touring the world writing silly songs in my lovely little corner of Munich, Germany.

I've had a fairly varied career from big places to startups to consulting to indie-app-development but always with Product at the heart of it - I love being part of making something that people get genuine delight from. More importantly I love bringing delight to the people around me whether that's with my home baking, terrible jokes or spontaneous songs (like the one I played to all my new colleagues in the first weeks at PostHog 🙉). I don't believe in being embarrassed - the best things happen when you open yourself up and share what your passionate about.

I try to work on as much of PostHog as I can, going wherever the most challenging problem lies. Secretly though my favourite thing to work on is Hedgehog Mode 🦔

Believe it or not, my first job included writing exciting marketing campaigns for robotic handling systems. (It wasn’t that exciting.) So I ended up moving to London in 2019 to study for an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction at UCL. (Way more exciting.) My plan was to land a job in a startup after graduating, which, through a bit of ‘hustling’ (Sigma Squared Summit, Voyagers, Kickstart London) and being in the right place at the right time actually worked out.

After graduating, I joined an early-stage startup called Caura, where I first had the title of a Product Designer and later on, that of a Product Manager. Titles aside, what motivates me most in my work is talking to users about what they want, uncovering what they actually mean by that and then building something they didn’t even think they needed.

I joined PostHog in autumn 2022, arguably the most exciting step in my career so far.

What else? On weekends, I hang out with friends, try to make a dent in my ever growing reading list or learn something new. My family is from the Black Forest region in Germany, so I spend a couple of weeks every year working from there, going on lots of countryside walks and eating Black Forest gateau.

Hi, I’m Ian. I’m a writer and software developer based in Vancouver. Unlike many at PostHog, I’ve lived nearly my entire life on the west coast of Canada.

My career started in sales and customer success as I thought it could lead to working on products as a “non-technical” person. I realized, if I learned to code, I could control my destiny and build products myself. So I did it, and that led to work at a few small startups and my own side projects.

At the same time, I wrote about areas that interested me like products, communities, and internet culture. Among other achievements, my writing made it to the top of HackerNews (twice). I’ve also written for startups working in crypto, devtools, and community.

Outside of work, writing, and coding, I lift weights (working on my squat PR), run, learn Spanish, and read a range of non-fiction books.

By day, I’m a People Operations Manager at PostHog, making sure everything runs smoothly for our team—think of me as part problem-solver, part chaos-wrangler, and full-time champion of all things people-related. By night, I transform into a bookbinding, crochet-wielding, countryside-frolicking connoisseur of all things cozy. When I'm not buried in a novel or strategically napping in my hammock, you’ll find me gallivanting through the Norfolk countryside like a whimsical Jane Austen side character. I share my life with my incredible fiancé and our feline overlady, Meatloaf, who not only judges my life choices from a high vantage point but does so while wearing an impeccable collection of bowties.

Hi there! My name is Daniel Esneider, and I am an SRE engineer with a strong desire to learn and improve. I am always looking for ways to contribute to my company and make a positive impact. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing soccer, and pursuing my passion for agriculture, specifically coffee beans. I have a solid foundation in both technical and practical skills, and I am always looking for ways to learn and grow in my field. When I’m not working on complex projects or tending to my farm, I love spending time with loved ones and approaching every task with enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence.

I'm a scientist at heart who loves taking complex ideas and combining them into one simple product that users love - and that's why I'm a home cook.

Juuuust kidding. That's why I write code! I wrote my first line of "code" when I was 19 years old trying to change the color of an h1 on my WordPress website. I found the stylesheet, changed the hex code, sweated bullets as I pressed the save button, and then my jaw hit the floor when it worked. I continued to tinker with websites through my dual undergrad programs in Molecular Biology and Microbiology, and finally after graduating taught myself how to actually code.

In my career I've built websites for food bloggers, headed up Product at a manufacturing tech startup, built and ran my own startup (it failed), and finally found my happy spot here at PostHog, where I ran the growth team for a couple years and later moved to the exec team to keep an eye on a few of our products.

I live in San Luis Obispo, CA with my husband, AJ, our two little girls, Kacey and Norah, and our black lab pup, Dedas. In my spare time you'll either find me riding my mountain bike on the local trails or making tasty food in my kitchen (I do actually really like to cook).

Hi, my name is Thomas, I'm 35 years old and live in the beautiful city of Munich together with my girlfriend. I’ve been interested in programming and entrepreneurship since I was a small kid, originally wanting to become a game developer.

After school, I studied mathematics and physics with the desire to better understand how the world works - do we have a free will or is everything deterministic? Richard Feynman surely left an impression on me. However it soon became clear that the answers I'd get wouldn’t fulfil my desire.

I also always knew I didn’t want to pursue a traditional career (e.g. insurance) and towards the end of my bachelor I was looking to join a startup part-time. At a local event I quickly found out that technical people are in high demand. I met the founders of Freeletics, was immediately convinced, and joined them as CTO – full-time.

After a meteoric rise to 120 people and multi-million users, it was time for a new adventure and I co-founded Workpath with two people from the local startup scene.

Enterprise is fun for a while, but at some point I wanted to get back to building more consumer facing products. That’s when I decided to combine passion with job and founded Passion Climb, which I now maintain as a side project.

Looking for more peace of mind and not being the ultimate decision maker for a bit, I joined the fantastic team at PostHog, which I have already used myself at Passion Climb. And thus, here I am, focusing on building a great UI and making a product people love.

In my free time, I love climbing, being outdoors, vanlifing, cooking and great food in general.

When I'm not making the world a better place through Paxos algorithms for consensus protocols I'm working on new and innovative ways to write complex data infrastructure platforms in YAML

I grew up in South Africa and have spent time living in Israel, San Francisco, India, and Amsterdam 🇿🇦🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇳🇳🇱 and yet I've somehow managed to find myself stuck in London 🇬🇧

Before joining Posthog, I was at Meta for 5 years, working as a software engineer and engineering manager. I left Meta to explore a few startup ideas I had, like building a Slack alternative and a few other ideas (which I wrote about in my Substack). My current (side) project is Remote Rocketship, which is a job board for remote jobs. Funnily enough, that's how I ended up finding PostHog:

I tweeted asking for a suggestion for an analytics tool and someone recommended PostHog. James liked the tweet, so I ended up looking at his profile and saw this job opening there!

On the personal side, I spend most of my time with my wife and son. In my spare time, I'm usually climbing, running, or walking about 🏃🏻‍♂️ I also try to go surfing whenever possible! 🏄🏻‍♂️

An aspiring biography writer who lacks inspiration...

Having grown up in Ireland, I started learning to code towards the end of high school. I studied Computer & Electronic Engineering where I took courses in telecommunications, embedded systems and SOC. Realising a greater passion for software I was offered an internship at Intercom and never looked back at hardware again.

Before PostHog, I was the founder of a Y Combinator company. We built 6 different products in 3.5 years before I eventually decided it was time for a change.

I am terrible at talking about myself, so here is what I thought about putting here and why I didn't:

• A short summary of basic facts about myself (age, place of birth, etc...).
  • Rejected because: Opens up the door to biases (but doesn't everything, even this very question?).
• My life story.
  • Rejected because: Both past achievements and failures are only as valuable as their signal power to predict the future. More often than not, they can't.
• A joke.
  • Rejected because: I don't know any, and it's not worth it to spend resources asking AI for one.
• My job description.
  • Rejected because: I write code in a start-up; my job description means very little beyond that, and I enjoy that.
• My personal interests.
  • Rejected because: My head is in work mode and can't think about my interests. The short summary is computer stuff, games (board and video), and lifting weights.
• Some permutation of all or some of the above.
  • Rejected because: n! possible options depending on sample size.

I’m Marcus, a product engineer in the cdp team. Currently working on realtime destinations and the messaging v1.

Before PostHog I was building an open-source loom alternative at Snapify and reached the front page of HackerNews using Tablane.

I visited the London Science Museum too many times as a kid and now I love building and playing with technology. Now I'm building things that are indistinguishable from magic.

My mum was a programmer in the 80s, and I grew up around computers. I studied Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, and worked in startups across a variety of industries.

Before I joined PostHog I was co-founder / CTO of Blueheart, and I have extremely strong opinions about what is missing from the various product analytics tool available, and have been fixing that with PostHog.

Born and raised in Brazil, Italian by heart but living in Austria.

Mobile Engineer as a profession, Android lover but iPhone user.

Very sporty but also a foodie, my worst enemy is and always will be the scale.

Quite a controversial Bio, yet unique, and ah, I do not think pineapple belongs on pizza.

I started coding as a kid, stemming from taking apart computers and occasionally being successful when putting them back together. Moved to London to attend university and consequently entered the world of start-ups - mostly marketplaces, from small to large.

Outside of tech, you can usually find me snowboarding the French alps in the winter, and cycling the Spanish mountains in the summer.

I had been building radio-controlled planes for much of my teens. This taught me precision, coming up with my own designs and having them stand the test of physics.

After three years of studying economics, I toyed with a business idea that led nowhere - except for leading me to learn web development. After a brief stint as a translator at Booking.com, I pivoted to programming in earnest and haven't looked back since.

I spent the last couple of years as a full stack engineer at a startup focusing on news analytics. I learned a ton and got to wear many hats. Among other things, I built the Alerts product and the scoring & aggregation part of the pipeline, which processes up to a million articles per day.

On the side, I'm working on a ride-sharing simulation and writing a blog. My project was featured on The Pragmatic Engineer, the #1 technology newsletter on Substack.

I love cycling, hiking, flight simulators, and reading novels, biographies and history. I'm a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I enjoy riding motorbikes - here's me and my friends traveling across Vietnam.

I like databases, motorcycles, mountain bikes, and pineapple on pizza.

I’m a seasoned software engineer known for my problem-solving prowess and collaborative spirit Over the past decade, I’ve developed a strong foundation in both backend and frontend technologies, including Python, Django, TypeScript, Elasticsearch, Celery, and React.

My professional journey has taken me through the intricacies of designing robust architectures and managing multifaceted projects. I excel in streamlining engineering workflows and optimizing processes to ensure seamless project execution. Leading development teams has been a rewarding aspect of my career, where I’ve cultivated an inclusive and empowering environment that values every contribution.

One of my core strengths is making pragmatic decisions that balance innovation with practicality. I’m committed to best practices and continuous improvement, always looking for ways to enhance the software development lifecycle. Staying current with industry trends and new technologies is a priority for me, driving my dedication to lifelong learning and skill expansion.

I thrive in dynamic settings, whether it’s kickstarting new projects from the ground up or diving into established ones. My ability to quickly adapt and bring fresh perspectives to product design and functionality sets me apart. I’m passionate about creating user-centric solutions that are both effective and elegant, ensuring that the end product not only meets but exceeds expectations.

In essence, I’m a full-stack developer with a rich experience in guiding small to mid-sized projects for diverse clients. I bring creativity, efficiency, and a collaborative mindset to every team I join.

I am originally from Glasgow, Scotland, where I live today via Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, San Francisco and more recently London for nearly 10 years.

I decided at 16 that I was going to study Law, because my friends were doing that. When I started university at 17 I realised it was a lot of reading, and when I started working in law firms at 18 I knew it wasn't for me. However, it took me until 21 to fully turn my back on my short-lived career in the law. It was then I headed to the Southern Hemisphere where I spent 18 months working as a barista and my love of coffee began, which still burns brightly.

In 2013 I moved from Melbourne to London and joined my first startup, a YC company called Homejoy. It could not have been further from my time in law firms and I loved it. My career in Operations since then has transitioned from working in marketplaces to B2B SaaS, the latter where I have worked for the last 8 years in Ops & Finance.

At PostHog I am the Ops & Finance lead and I like things to run smoothly. I am mainly focused on making sure we don't run out of money, we don't get sued and making sure our team are very happy. All very important things that I take very seriously, I don't take myself seriously at all.

I love puns, I love films & tv, I love sports. I can usually be found outside work playing golf or watching football, predominantly following my team the length and breadth of Scotland, and sometimes across Europe.

At a previous startup, I met a girl called Sinead who I quite liked and I managed to convince her to move with me to Glasgow and we now have a son called Patrick (Sinead and Patrick are Irish, if it wasn't obvious). We spend a lot of time in Dublin with their family, which is great fun.

My biggest fear is people would hesitate to reach out to me with a question. Please, please, please reach out!

I started my career in finance and eventually found my way into tech, where I love working with smart people on difficult problems while wearing casual clothes. Outside of work, I enjoy visiting museums, eating good food, and reading books.

I grew up with little technology in my household. I spent my summers at the farm driving tractors and yelling at people for eating too many berries and my winters at the ski hill teaching people how to roll down the hill.

I went to the University of Waterloo to study Computer and Electrical Engineering. When I chose the program, it was 1. For the electrical part - I thought I wanted to go into Hydro and 2. a total guess on what school to go to. I can honestly say I don't know why I chose Waterloo. I was one of few out of 500+ students in my class that didn't know how to code. When we got our first project in C#, and it asked us to write a program that outputted a user-entered string to the console, I was lost. It took me days to figure it out. Googling "what is a string" didn't help. But once I did. I fell in love. I was super lucky to have chosen Waterloo because it gave me the opportunity to work across a bunch of companies with their coop program, everything from a small YC company to a Fortune 500 company.

I've built everything from real estate CMS's (early in my career I thought I discovered what a CMS was and was going to make a massive business from it - little did I know we all have this realization) to a housemate matching system to Chrome extensions to make Zapier better to peripheral device integrations to surf the web.

My current side projects include an open-source Grammarly alternative called scamable and a tool to analyze your blood tests over time.

While at Waterloo, I started a company named Kopa (pka PadPiper), we went through the YC W19 batch. Since then, I've done some work with WorkOS and On Deck, and had a small bootstrapped saas app acquired. I also founded Zettlor and spent ~1.5 years building it.

I dabble in investing and advising early-stage startups, check out more on my website. And I enjoy travelling - I've lived in Vancouver, Ann Arbor, San Francisco, Porto, and Lima.

These days, my time is spent training for a triathlon (joining the team ranks as a PostHog cyclist), sauna/ice bath sessions, playing poker, skiing, finding the best coffee in the city and spending time with my wife (Laura) and my puppy (Daisy).

When I was a kid, my grandfather showed me something that blew my little mind: his new Atari Pong console. I'm pretty sure that was the day that my interest in computing began. Later, in high school, I didn't hesitate to sign up for a "Programming In Basic" class which was offered after The Tandy Corporation donated 30 new TRS-80s. (insert Blade Runner "like tears in the rain" meme here.)

I was distracted by storytelling for quite a while though. I was a theatre artist from age 12 on into my mid-30s. From my teens into my mid-20s I waited tables to support my theatre habit. Then, after the Mosaic browser introduced the world to the WWW, I switched to tech support to pay the bills.

I quickly realized that working with talented, passionate people on building Internet-related products and services to delight users could be as fun as working on a theatrical production to delight audiences. So I kept a foot in both worlds (theatre and tech) for 10 years, building out tech support infrastructure for startups by day, rehearsing and performing during nights and weekends.

Then I became a parent. A choice had to be made. So, to provide better opportunities for my kids, I shelved my theatre habit and stayed focused on tech and parenting.

After working with a few startups early in my career, I settled at a real estate technology startup for almost 18 years. They were acquired by a larger company during my 14th year. I survived the first round of layoffs, but not the second. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was very fortunate to have been laid off when I was, because...

Then I had the good fortune of being invited to join PostHog in March of 2024. I'm writing this after only three days on the job, but I really don't recall having been this excited by a new job in a very long time (or ever, if I omit a few choice acting roles from that list. 😊)

In my free time, I can usually be found practicing guitar (late blooming hobbyist, started learning in 2017), listening to music, reading, working on my website, spending time with one or both of my adult kids, and/or our 3 cats.

Epilogue: There is a place for pineapple on pizza.*

* but only if the only other topping is pepperoni. 🤓

I don't love writing about myself and this is very freeform, and I'm drawing a blank on what to say, so I'm going to make up some questions and answer those instead.

What is your favorite food

Probably Roti Prata with a good mutton curry

What is your favorite activity

Downhill skiing, but it has been hard to find time for this as I had a baby recently. Hope to get back to it when the kids can do it too!

When did you learn to code?

Probably at a summer camp, don't remember the year. I got a bad rap with the counselors because I kept finding bugs in their instructions and tests.

When is your favorite holiday?

A wash between the 4th of July and Thanksgiving probably.

I'm a software engineer, writer, polyglot programmer, career mentor, math enthusiast, ski bum, rock climber, amateur powerlifter, enthusiastic intramural athlete, plant dad, jazz pianist, language nerd, and data science dilettante.

I've always been fascinated by the intersection of creativity and constraints. I love understanding how systems work and exploring the grey areas between well-defined spaces.

In college I studied physics and music – the physics helped me understand how the world worked, and then music helped color it in. I don't do a lot of physics anymore, but I still play music regularly.

Professionally, I'm a startup veteran who loves building the foundational systems upon which successful companies are built. I love programming languages, static types, making APIs go fast, sanding user interfaces, and crafting simple user experience that bely complex operations. I've worked at 3 unicorn startups so far across a variety of industries – robotics, fintech, analytics – and I'm eager to make PostHog the biggest and best one yet!

I live in Seattle with my wife, various instruments, and countless houseplants. We love traveling, coffee, playing outside, trail running, watching bad TV, talking about software, and experimenting in the kitchen.

Some of fun facts about me:

• I've skied in 4 different continents (and have a life goal to ski in all 7)
• I went viral on LinkedIn for playing piano at an Elton John concert
• Years ago, I accidentally won a fashion contest in Dublin

Hey!

My journey into computers started with my Dad's Amstrad PCW a.k.a Schneider Joyce, messing with legendary Windows 3.1 machines and the like. Nowadays I am big into home automation, IoT and over-engineering what could be a simple project thanks to the power AI gives me, with a hint of self-taught Python and YAML skills.

Yet, my favourite devices ever remain a Nokia 9110 communicator and an iPaq1940.

In my free time away from screens I love traveling (especially to Asia and anywhere with good dive spots), watch and do sports and anything to do with aviation. A lot of that free time is spent on training for my Private Pilot License.

Hi, I'm Georgiy. My journey into programming began with writing Lua scripts for a popular online game just for fun. I quickly realized that there was a niche selling extensions and plugins to others, so it became a small enterprise and a fun hobby for the next few years. Later in life, I started a few businesses and joined a failed startup. One day, while searching for product management resources tailored for engineers, I came across the Product for Engineers newsletter from PostHog. I've always liked the idea of software engineers being close to customers, so I applied the gathered knowledge in my daily job, which worked exceptionally well. That was an aha moment when I realized these folks know something, so here I am today - an actual Product Engineer. Besides my day job, I have an unusual hobby – searching for truffles with my truffle dog.

I was born in Madrid and here I am after 33 years writing this little bio so you can get to know me better.

My first contact with computers was at 11 when I was gifted a Pentium 3 for Christmas. I remember spending some time with it every day, even though I did not have Internet access until several years later. It's hard to imagine myself not accessing Internet from any computer device today!

Before joining Posthog I've been working as a Data Engineer in several companies. I remember that I started working with data almost accidentally... and here I am, helping with ClickHouse a couple of years later!

On the personal side of things, I really like to spend time in nature, doing some calisthenics (beginner level though, my challenge is achieving the first muscle-up), a bit of reading (fantasy and historical novel mostly) and now trying to improve my cooking skills.

They say Irish people have "the gift of the gab" or in other words, the ability to talk a lot, so naturally a career in Sales felt right.

I try to spend as much time as I can outside playing sport, hiking, running, golfing (very badly) , and more recently have taken up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and currently a 1 stripe white belt (A.k.a a total noob) - will update once I have been promoted to Blue Belt!

Being Irish, and travelling extensively, means I have met people from all walks of life, and people have a tendency to feel comfortable around Irish people, which has led to me making friends across the world - this friendly and approachable nature is what has allowed me to have success in my sales career so far. I'm actively trying to break the mold and bad rep Salespeople have, especially in Tech!

My universe is currently centered around my Golden Retrevier puppy, Murphy, who is 7 months old at the time of writing this!

My role at Posthog is to help customers get the most from the entire platform, and support them as Posthog continues to add more products to our lineup!

I'm Irish, an electronic/computer engineer, a decent skier, a passable woodworker, a bad photographer and a worse guitarist. I've been writing code since I was about 13, when my father made the mistake of letting me put ubuntu on the family computer, although I did take a brief detour through hardware design in university. After seeing up close how fast modern chips are, I decided to spend my career on "this shouldn't take this long", although more recently I've also added "this shouldn't crash this often" to the hit list.

After university I spent a couple of years wandering around Ireland, then moved to the Austrian alps for a while, and now the Finnish lake-lands. These days, I spend my time building furniture, learning Finnish (slowly!), taking pictures with cameras older than me, and, of course, trying to make posthogs data plane more reliable, lower latency, and up to whatever mad experiment the product folks dream up next.

When I first discovered programming, it was like having superpowers. I could create things and make the pixels look exactly as I wanted - imagination was the limit. I could then keep optimising things. Learn something new, apply the new superpowers, celebrate the results, repeat!

Fast forwarding a decade of using this superpowers, with a stopover at UCL (where I met other epic builders), I'm now building awesome things at PostHog.

Things that keep me away from the screen include:

• Reading
• Football (both playing and watching COYG!)
• Hiking
• Discovering new restaurants every weekend

After spending most of my adult life digging into data, I decided to switch to product management only to realize that I'm still mainly just looking at charts and writing SQL. I'm definitely not mad about it, and I'm happy to complement this by occasionally speaking with a human being about our product. So if you have something to say, let me know!

Outside of work, you can mostly find me on a plane en route to either the beach or the Alps. I love snowboarding, collecting special edition books (also reading them), and all dogs.

Where am I from? Who even knows!

I was born in Scotland to English parents, grew up in Belgium at an international school, went to the University of York UK, spent an industrial placement year in Germany, worked in Bath UK for 10 years, and now I live in Ireland.

How did I get here?

Well…when I was little, I wanted to be a vet. When I was older, I thought about studying genetics and psychology or maybe bio-chemistry. In the meantime, I was spending a bunch of my free time in the theatre designing and constructing sets, plus working backstage on the sound design. I worked at both the National Student Drama Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

So, what actually did happen?

Inspired by my theatre work, I studied Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems and discovered that I thoroughly enjoyed our programming-related modules.

During my career I have been a dev, a technical analyst, and technical support person. I have experienced companies of various sizes and have experienced two company acquisitions. I love problem solving - and helping people and improving the way we work is my jam.

In my spare time you'll find me playing games (tabletop, computer or console), painting PostHog logos on my nails, or wrapped up with my latest crochet project.

PHP was my first venture into "programming," which I learned in middle school to build a web portal for my scout troop and that I never actually launched.

From there, I ventured into C, and after a lot of memory leaks, tried my hand at assembly language. The memory leaks were gone (I think), but it was tedious and I spent three months getting a microprocessor to work with a keypad an a magnetic sensor.

From there I dabbled in C# for a bit, convinced that Silverlight was going to be the way of the future, before moving back to PHP and eventually settling on JavaScript and Python.

It was clear no one would ever pay me to write code for a living, so I moved into sales.

Hopefully I never have to write a line of APEX.

Howdy, Bryan/B/BryGuy here!

I'm a digital plumber and whichwayer by day, a family man and obstacle course constructor by night. I love to tweak and tinker with all things platform-related. My career direction was driven by my passion for digging into the details, understanding how things work, and ensuring they run smoothly.

When I'm not building and/or breaking platforms, you'll find me with the family, doing experiments, watering ~~each other~~ the garden, or just generally trying to keep up and catch my breath.

I started programming in visual basic in college and realised immediately it was was really cool. Being a gamer also I went on to study Games Programming at university and realised pretty quickly that I should keep enjoying the hobby!

Pretty soon after that I broke into the world of tech and realised I could instead combine my programming skills with the customer service skills I gained from various jobs to do support engineering.

Since then I have found my passion lies in using my programming knowledge to deliver great customer support experiences, improve processes and automate workflows.

Hello! I'm Ben. Not to be confused with this Ben... or this Ben... or this Ben... Actually it may just be easier to call me 'Haynes', most people do! I am originally from Winchester in the United Kingdom, but now reside in Massachusetts in the USA.

From an early age, I learned how to break various pieces of technology, mainly the family desktop computer. As a result I had to quickly learn how to fix them again. Getting older, I realized I could break things (and fix them) much easier using code and so my programming journey began.

My career started supporting the computer systems on Television Gameshows across the world, before moving into a business that provided broadcasting solutions for Sporting Events. Here I really fleshed out my knowledge of coding, developing a bespoke all-in-one support and scheduling system.

When not working on your tickets, you can find me viewing or partaking in various sports, tidying my sneaker collection or trying to introduce my American wife to British TV Panel Shows she has no interest in watching.

I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I earned an incomplete half-degree in Mathematics and a Master’s Degree in Computer Science, although they don’t seem to hold much value now. I’ve been working with computers since I was 10 years old (my first website was created with Netscape Composer), and I haven’t stopped since.

I’m a big fan of San Lorenzo, a football (soccer) team from Argentina, and I’ve traveled to various countries to see them play, with my furthest trip being to Morocco in 2014 for the FIFA Club World Cup. I’ve also traveled abroad for concerts, and one of my hobbies is collecting books, including first editions, rare editions, proof copies, and signed copies.

I live with my wife, Belén, and our little dog, Cappuccina (though I’m not a fan of coffee, you can guess who chose her name).

P.S. I technically have a selfie with Bob Dylan.

I grew up in a loving family in the quiet suburbs of Nicosia, Cyprus, spending my time noodling on my guitar and causing trouble for my family and neighbors. Shortly after, I found myself building cool stuff for mobile, specifically on Apple devices, and turned that into a career.

Proud ex-founder of two app startups that flopped, I’ve got the scar tissue to prove my willingness to dive into new adventures, breaking things apart and combining the pieces to build something new. I will always embrace the creative chaos!

These days, I’m obsessed with my little one and probably get a bit annoying talking about her ALL the time.

Oh, and for the record — pineapples are yummy when not on a pizza.

I spent my childhood getting my hands on every single piece of software that could fit through a 33.6kbps modem connection. This didn't usually include documentation, but I learned what I could to be productive across everything from networking tools to motion graphics to 3D design.

It was an accidental course of study in software, product design and computing, and I resented every distraction from it. Who needs cursive writing?!

Between all that context and a love of self-directed learning, I had everything I needed for a career in software. Teaching myself iPhone development in 2008, I quit a safe job in the middle of the financial crisis to find a career worth having.

I've led mobile at multiple startups, including two at the seed stage. Pour one out for Hipmunk.

I love the intersection of product design and engineering. But most of all, I feel a debt to make sure everyone who wants to learn can have the same leverage that I found in my career.

I got into software somewhat unexpectedly when I was at university studying engineering. During my first software engineering class I realised that there was something about solving problems and writing code that just seemed to click with me (which is a good thing, as I have no idea what I would have done otherwise)!

Since then, I've worked at a number of companies, both large and small (though massively preferring the latter) in a variety of different industries. I am not too tied to one particularly technology; the problems being solved and the team I am working with are far more important to me. I love being in an environment where I am surrounded by talented, passionate and kind people, and a healthy company culture, all of which brought me to PostHog 🙂

I have been lucky to live in several places across the world, but am currently based in the beautiful city of Bath.

In my free time I like playing golf ⛳️, listening to music 🎧, gardening 🌻 and working on side projects 👨‍💻 (the emphasis here is on ‘like’ as I actually spend most of my time trying to keep my son entertained).

I'm Michi and SRE @ Posthog.

Before starting here, I worked at two other places where I did - surprise! - different things. After working for a longer time for a startup in all kind of IT roles (support, frontend, backend, datawarehouse, cloud...), I took a 7 year detour to consulting, where I jumped into cloud infra topics, cloud architecture and DevOps all around AWS and k8s. After discovering Posthog, I applied and here I am!

When not tweaking the clouds and clusters, I love listening to music, play some computer games, board games with my kids or automate my home.

Hi! I'm Haven, sometimes mistakenly called Heaven, Hayden, David, etc. I'm a fullstack software engineer currently focusing on making the Feature Flags product even more awesome.

Some of the things I love:

• Making complex systems simple, observable, and explainable
• Profiling frontend and backend applications (yes, really!)
• The Pacific Northwest
• Movies (follow me on Letterboxd)
• Playing basketball at an aggressively amateur level

Some of the things I don't love:

• Being in the "this doesn't seem possible" phase of a bug investigation
• The general concept of renting
• Being unable to increase my Rocket League competitive rank

I got a job at Panera Bread once and lasted nine days. Some regional corporate person wanted all of us to follow his directions on how to make sandwiches faster, so I walked into the store manager's office and resigned. I funded my trip to India by selling some camera lenses and a kayak instead.

At PostHog, I'm shipping code with the Experiments Team in our pursuit of making it super easy for developers to analyze the impact of their work. I joined PostHog after years (decades?) in the WordPress space. Some highlights include maintaining WP-CLI, helping author the WordPress REST API, and getting promoted from engineering team lead to Head of WordPress.com (grandma-rides-rollercoaster.gif).

Outside of work, I'm likely working on my pizza game (current favorite: pepperoni, sausage, and ricotta), playing soccer, skiing with my kids, or planning our next family adventure. Leah, my wife, is a nurse practitioner who surprises everyone in Japan with her fluent Japanese. Our kids, Ava and Charlie, play together like two lion cubs and love spending an entire day with their friends in the cul-de-sac.

If you need a book recommendation, some of my all-time favorites include The Winds of War, The Stand, Shoe Dog, Project Hail Mary, and The Big Orange Splot.

Let me know if you're ever in Portland!

In another lifetime, I was studying to become a pharmacist. Instead, I ended up in tech and co-founded my first startup. Since then, I've grown a love for startups and have spent most of my career in them.

Originally from Portland, Oregon, I lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for a time before moving back north and settling in the Greater Seattle Area.

When I'm not working, spending time with family and friends, or writing code, I enjoy reading, catching up on the news, and researching. Though I don't do them often enough, my hobbies include traveling, snowboarding, woodworking, 3D printing, and tinkering with electronics.

Personal ranking of Celebrations chocolates:

1. Bounty

4. Maltes—oh wait, i'm actually meant to write something insightful about me in this space?...pending!

Hey, I'm Rafa, I'm based in Brazil, love gaming, hiking, traveling, and spending a good time with my fiancée and our lovely cat, Aura. I also really love to chat, just ping me, email me, DM me, whatever.

I don't know exactly when I chose to become a software developer. I think I just typed very fast when I was a kid, and I thought I could make that a job, then at 15 I learned me some C++, done, software developer it is. Just for the funsies I got a summa cum laude bachelor's degree in CompSci, hopefully, the most useless achievement I'll ever get. I also got into competitive programming while I was at college, but I wasn't at that level, did get to the Brazilian finals, though!

Worked in a couple of startups as an early employee in the past, none with major success, here's to Posthog becoming my first IPO! I've worked with a lot of cool tech: Rails, Django, React, GraphQL, Postgres, etc. On the side I've done cool stuff with Dart + Flutter, Rust, C++ as well, but don't ask me for help on that kind of stuff. Really looking forward to learning more stuff here at Posthog such as Clickhouse, actual useful Rust, Kafka, etc.

My favorite toy when I was a kid was a hedgehog, and I have it to this day, it's called Pock (comes from the translation of hedgehog to Portuguese, Porco-Espinho, you can get to Pock with some imagination). I guess Posthog was meant to be.

I spent a lot of my career working in startup ad-tech companies building landing pages and sign up flows- learning UX the dark way- making legal print too small etc... That was my dark past, I am now a self proclaimed beacon of user-focused-light. I now live to make things beautiful, legible, and useable.

What's the light without the darkness?

Pineapple on burgers, thoughts?

• from Valdres in Norway and live in Sogndal now (mountains and fjords!)
• spend a lot of time outdoors (climbing, skiing, running, biking)
• linux nerd since childhood (you should have seen my 3d compiz desktop)
• lived two years in northern Norway just to have fun outdoors
• had an internship at Svalbard and a saw a polar bear from my office
• have a master degree in applied physics and mathematics from NTNU and specialized in statistics
• joined an online grocery startup (oda.com) after university which was a lot of fun and stayed there for 8 years (my only full-time job before PostHog)
• never been outside of Europe
• own a Kawasaki Ninja
• like to play board games and discuss philosophy
• my family is big and I love to spend time with them

I'm not a fan of writing about myself, so I will share some quotes of what others have said about me:

"Likely first CEO of Mars" - Forbes
"Peter is an engineering superhero, trust me, I would know" - Clark Kent
"There is no bug he can't fix or problem he can't solve" - Peter's manifestation journal
"The smartest person I've ever worked with" - an definitely real ex colleague
"A very handsome young man" - my nana
"Artificially intelligent" - Matt, my brother
"Has never made up false quotes about himself" - Verified fact checkers

I am a native Kansan who will absolutely find a way to work that in to almost every conversation, so buckle up.

I've also lived on the U.S. East Coast and traveled widely, but I'm back in the greater Kansas City area (Kansas side) with my wife Sarah, son, and daughter.

I was previously at WordPress VIP (Enterprise WordPress), where I helped engineering and product teams achieve scalable, secure, and reliable WordPress implementations. Before VIP, I worked in media (The Atlantic, PBS NewsHour) and institutional nonprofits (Pew, Kauffman) usually doing digital product work with engineers. In those roles, which were in the days of yore, I would've loved PostHog.

I love light banter, the Tallgrass Prairie, reading the documentation, and the idea of cycling more. When I'm not online, I'm typically chasing (or being chased by) kids or a dog.

How do people describe me:

• Sometimes obsessive
• Overly optimistic
• Looks at screens for way too many hours

Yeah, I got addicted to computers pretty young due to Tibia and Ragnarok Online 😅

That's actually how I learned to speak english!

Anyway, I'm Lucas, a Brazilian engineer who loves coding, animals, books and nature. My full about page is here.

I also publish a newsletter for Brazilian engineers, if you're looking to get some career insights.

I don't know how did I get here, but I'll try my best to teach you everything I learn along the way.

My name is Phil Haack, pronounced "fill hack", and I know what you're thinking, what a great name for a software engineer, Phil!

Growing up, the US Air Force deemed it necessary to move my family to new places every three or so years. Places such as: Michigan (upper peninsula), Okinawa, Florida (Tampa), Spain (Torrejon), Guam, Alaska. I bet that had a big impact on the way I see the world, hopefully in a good way.

Afterwards, I moved to California (Los Angeles) for college. While there, I did a study abroad program in Budapest, Hungary for a few months, so I count that as a place that I lived. Some time after college, I moved to Washington to work at Microsoft.

I've had the good fortune to travel to many more places. One of my favorite ways to travel is to give a talk at a conference in a country because I end up meeting so many locals.

Much of my career has been developing open source products and tools for developers. NuGet, ASP.NET MVC, and GitHub are some of the things I've worked on that are widely used. Prior to PostHog, I co-founded a start-up that built a chat bot that was going to take over the world so we had to put it down (the lack of product market fit also contributed to that outcome).

For fun I love to hang out with my kids, play soccer, ski, go boating, travel, and just enjoy life with other people.

I started programming when I was 12, when my parents brought home our first 56K modem. I honestly can't figure out what I did with my childhood before that. I coded throughout high school and eventually went for a degree in Computer Science at the University of Wrocław in Poland. During the first year of my master's program, I decided it would be cool to join a startup for a year and then return to finish my studies. Now, I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

I've spent almost a decade helping to move events between clouds, so it should come as no surprise that at PostHog, I work on the CDP team. I love working on busy services with high reliability requirements.

My biggest software engineering achievement is the AssistantToTheTransportManager class that over five years of its existence made its way to tens of millions of web browsers. My biggest disappointment is not being able to make "crunchy frogs" a thing in programming.

Aside from software engineering, I try to escape to the mountains as often as I can. My favorite travel memories are treks in the Himalayas and Andes, as well as a (too) spontaneous bikepacking trip through Patagonia. I also spend a lot of time running and bouldering. Despite all that time spent exercising, I probably hold the title for the least fit person ever featured on Eurosport.

I'm pretty much a Munich cliché when it comes to how I love spending my time: anything involving mountains—hiking, mountaineering, climbing, bouldering, via ferratas, skiing, or swimming in the nearby lakes—is my happy place. I’m also passionate about cycling, particularly bikepacking and long-distance rides. When it comes to food, I’m an unapologetic enthusiast (I like to think of myself as Italian by choice). When I’m not out adventuring, I’m recharging my introvert batteries with a good book, making amateur music, or writing songs that tend to have a melancholic vibe.

What energizes me work-wise is shipping cool stuff with amazing people. It’s as simple as that. Having worked across companies of all sizes, I’ve discovered that my heart lies with small teams that have the autonomy to quickly bring their products into the hands of customers.

Fun Facts: I was the opener for a famous german rapper in my hometown once & played in the selection roster of the german lacrosse national team but didn't make the cut.

Born in the USSR, I first touched a computer in 1993—an Intel 486 running DOS. In high school, my brother and I got our first shared personal PC, an Intel Pentium 166. Spent hours playing Fallout and Heroes of Might and Magic. Then one day, I went to a bookstore to buy a book on “how to program games.” Haven’t played games much since.

In 2012, I became a digital nomad. I wrote a book, Digital Nomad Life: Ultimate Guide, which got featured in Portuguese news. Since then, I’ve traveled to 46 countries and lived in 7 of them. Recently, I moved from the Netherlands to Hungary.

In 2020, I wanted to learn about AI, so I decided to build a “Vivino but for coffee.” That project brought me into the world of specialty coffee, and just a couple of years later, I found myself picking coffee in the mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

In total, I’ve built 20+ projects, failing at most of them. One of them, AI business plan generator, led me to discover PostHog. I loved it from day one and even built a few things on top of it just for fun.

Now, I own way more coffee tools than I need. I’m training for an Ironman and still dreaming of integrating my Raspberry Pi into a coffee machine.

If you have any ideas how to make Session Replay product better - please text me!

I’m in the Growth team where I’m working to help make the experience for getting started with all the products PostHog offers as easy as possible!

I live in Cambridge, UK and can sometimes be spotted running around in a silly looking gown. Thankfully, my wife Hania and son Benio keep me company (and keep me sane!).

Previously, I founded TimeNavi, a calendar based time-tracking app that ended up helping over 250,000 users understand their time. Building something from scratch and scaling it was a really fun experience and I learned a lot about the fun problems you encounter along the way scaling a codebase and a business. I was an early user of PostHog whilst working at TimeNavi, so I’m very excited to be here!

Outside of work, you’ll find me traveling with the family, hiking and eating popcorn (like, a lot of popcorn! 🍿)

P.S. pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza, but you didn’t need me to tell you that did you!

People often ask me which band I am in, convinced they’ve recently seen me upon a glistening stage strumming a stringed instrument or rhythmically hammering away at a snare drum followed by a dramatic crowd dive. Regrettably, I have to inform them that I have the agility of a sloth and the finger dexterity of a flailing flightless bird.

Instead, I've toiled away at what feels like the complete breadth of experiences to be had as a software engineer. From working on the job scheduler of the IBM mainframe, to medical prototypes, to groundwater hydrology analysis, to e-commerce websites, and most recently trying to drive metadata standards of data pipelines. However, upon arriving at PostHog I face my greatest engineering challenge yet, decoding British slang...

After closing my terminal for the day, you'll find me in the garden with my quintessential black cat performing an avant-garde interpretive dance ritual hoping for good favor from the sun and rain deities.

I've always been drawn to technology—whether it was my first Nintendo or early PCs like Compaq and Packard Bell (complete with the iconic "turbo" button!) that I used for gaming and burning CDs.

In college, I met my closest friend who introduced me to Classic ASP for building websites. I too wanted to tinker with lines of code in EditPlus while rocking out to tunes on WinAmp!

Over the years, I dabbled in ASP.NET, Python, Ruby on Rails, and eventually WordPress where I was part of a small team that built the first-ever PlayStation Blog. Back then, WordPress hosting wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is today, so I had to figure out how to deploy three RHEL servers and even learn what "SSH" was!

That experience kickstarted a decade-long journey into the command line as a Linux systems administrator, working in various capacities and projects. Eventually, I moved "front-of-house" to embrace solutions engineering roles, combining my technical expertise with customer focused problem-solving.

I’m based in Orlando, FL, with my wife and our two amazing (and sassy) daughters building LEGO, playing Minecraft, or cheering on their gymanstics interest. When I’m not working or with family and friends, you can usually find me woodworking in the garage—assuming it’s not unbearably hot!

Born in Singapore, grew up in Shanghai, and now based in London.

I am a Customer Success manager at PostHog, which is just a fancy way of saying I try to be helpful to our customers.

In a past life, I studied medicine to be a doctor. Then I realised I can be more helpful by showing people how to use technology to solve their problems more effectively (also hospital software is horrendous).

When not working, I am climbing, skiing, or playing fetch with my cat, Binu.

I'm a curious soul who found my way to Stockholm 8 years ago to study Data Science at KTH, though in true explorer fashion, I've never actually worked as a "Data Scientist." Instead, I founded my own company (spent two years learning the hard way), dove into the world of fintech as a Product Manager, and now I'm here helping build the future of product analytics.

Before joining Posthog, I was working on Finna, my enterprise SaaS startup. If you want to see what else keeps my brain busy, check out my side projects ranging from AI implementations to jigsaw puzzle engines (yes, really).

When I'm not in front of a screen, you'll find me:

• Training for endurance events (did an Ironman 70.3 last year after learning to swim crawl just 6 months before race day!)
• Skiing down mountains, swinging tennis rackets, or plunging into cold water in lakes around Stockholm
• Meditating (mainly vipassana) to keep my explorer's mind from wandering too far
• Deep diving into philosophy and physics questions that have no practical application whatsoever

Even though I speak 7 languages with varying degrees of proficiency (Persian, Azeri, English, Turkish, French, Russian, and Swedish), I don't have a "native" tongue anymore, which means I can misunderstand people in multiple tongues.

My favorite books include "Gödel, Escher, Bach" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and my movie taste runs toward mind-benders like "Inception" and "Eagle Eye."

Oh, and my favorite ice-breaker question:

If everyone on Earth moved to Mars except for 100 randomly selected people who stayed behind, would you choose Earth or Mars? (Think carefully before answering...)

People are an interesting bunch, one day you’re listening to metal and studying sociology the next decade you’re experimenting with art and coding bots, but still playing games (RPGs mostly) throughout all of it. That’s why it's fun to explore people, you’ll always learn something new. I found a great way to learn from people is to help them, you get a deep understanding of people by owning their problems, and being kinda sorta shy most times I figured a way to help them remotely, through the happiness of technology.

That’s what I like, people and things, and so my days are about finding ways to make them work together. I firmly believe in automation as a way for humans to express what matters the most to them, and getting better control over errors as a bonus.

But beware the sword you cannot see, technology, like anything in excess, can dull you out, so I strive for a balance, by balancing on my bike whenever I can, or jumping on one foot not so much because my kid demands it, but actually because I still find it engaging.

Born in Poland, currently based in the south of Spain.

Despite being an art and literature lover, I have always been drawn to tech and wanted to understand what my developer colleagues do and what they’re talking about.

I’m an empathetic creature who enjoys making others smile, so I added a human touch to technology and became deeply involved in Customer Experience and User Safety over the years.

In my free time, you’ll probably find me planning my next trip (I’m a big planning geek), booking concert tickets, listening to psychology podcasts, exploring modern art galleries, or discovering new specialty coffee spots. In the evenings, I’m usually catching up on movies while being trapped on the couch by my cat.

I build and break things (sometimes intentionally) in the hope of making them better.

After years of asking questions ranging from "How do we scale this to millions?" to "Why does this button look weird in Safari?", I spent a few years managing and leading teams. That was nice, but too exclusive. I love coding, designing systems, and creating solutions that make an impact—so I wanted to get back to that.

Now, I get to build things again—ideally with a few hedgehogs in the UI.

When I’m not coding, I’m usually reading books, tinkering with new ideas, diving into YouTube’s finest (and most random) videos, figuring out new DIY projects I’ll never do, or writing short stories.

Hey there! I'm Brian and I focus on data-driven ads & landing pages that grow PostHog's reputation and user count (trust me on this - you want to be a part of PostHog's user count). I actually used PostHog as a Growth Manager to great effect in my last role, and that's a big part of why I'm here now - I truly believe in this product and think more growth and product teams should know about it.

Anyway, when I'm not optimizing our ads and landing pages with witty copy and clever targeting, I spend my time oscillating between sunburns and tan lines. I live in a small mountain town and have found a great community of fellow remote workers who love to get out into the wild to recharge. You can find me with my friends most evenings and weekends riding bikes or snowboarding, followed by pizza and NA beers.

I grew up in Poland, in a city called Szczecin (good luck pronouncing that).

With no clear plan, I moved to Manchester (UK) to study business and economics, which somehow led to an exchange year in Hong Kong. Between taking random classes like "Jazz, Blues and Broadway", I traveled all over East and Southeast Asia. That year got me even more interested in the region, so I did a master’s in Chinese economy and business, split between Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Nanjing (China).

During those years, I made a living playing online poker. My mum was not thrilled, but it taught me a ton about probability, game theory, decision making, and keeping cool despite setbacks - turns out, all useful in startups.

After graduating, I moved to Berlin (Germany), worked briefly for an angel investor, then co-founded Medigo to improve access to quality healthcare globally. We raised a Series A from Accel, built a 50-person team, and helped 200,000+ patients across five continents. Lots of mistakes, lots of pivots, lots of lessons.

I handled almost everything except product and engineering. In 2019, I decided to learn to code - partly out of curiosity, partly out of frustration with not understanding how software is built. A few months in, I was hooked and knew this is what I want to do every day. When the timing was right, I was able to transition out and went all-in on engineering.

In 2021, I joined ODF, building products for early-stage founders (persona I could relate to well). That’s also where I met Zach!

Now at PostHog, I’m excited to keep helping founders and product engineers build great products!

After 18 years abroad, I’m back in Poland, though I travel a fair bit with my wife Ola and our 2-year-old son Jan.

Outside of tech, I tend to obsess over:

• Board sports (surfing, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, snowboarding)
• Consuming (and sometimes making) great food and drinks (ramen, tacos, fried chicken, coffee, beer) - lmk if you're up for a taco tour in Tulum 👀
