This week we’re excited to be featuring Matt Beukelman, our LA-based Art Director.

Matt, tell us about yourself!

To kick off our blog we’re passing the voice to one of our remote developers — Ian Segers. Ian is part of our JavaScript dev team. He’s Belgian, lives in Barcelona and is planning a move to Norway, where he will be surrounded by all the amazing Scandinavian nature. He tells us his Kodify story and what makes him tick. Starting with his story, we want to give you an insight into what’s it like to work at Kodify. …
