  • Colton VoegeFounder/CTO

    In 2014 I co-founded Mimir out of a Dorm Room with Jacobi Petruccani and Prahasith Veluvolu. We built a product to help instructors teach computer science, were accepted to YCombinator, raised funds, and hired a stellar team. In 2019, Mimir was acquired by HackerRank, and I was brought on as an Engineering Manager to lead my team through new initiatives. I pride myself on hiring great people, a building a robust process for training new hires, and creating and maintaining a healthy code base.
