Our Technology Stack










Team Leads

Tech I'm most excited about right now:
"I'm really excited about advances in backend-related tech—from data analytics to data science, to API specifications that make easy-to-consume APIs to devops."

More about Steve >
Tech I'm most excited about right now:
"Everything! There is so much going on in so many domains. The frontend landscape is changing so rapidly it’s hard to keep up, but that makes it so exciting. For instance, the Houdini project, which is a joint task force of engineers from different companies, is doing some really exciting things that will make a huge impact on the future of frontend development."

Hubbard CTO/COO
I love startups and Updater is my third, but favorite!
More about Ryan >
Despite once telling Katie Holmes, "You look exactly like Katie Holmes," and driving away with the gas pump attached twice, my previous startups were successful. My first startup, eVariant, raised $70M in funding led by Goldman Sachs. My second, Yellowhammer, earned $21M in revenue in only our second year, was ranked #37 on Inc's 500 Fastest Growing Companies, and was completely bootstrapped.
