Don't worry about it so much. Let the problems come to you in a bit because if you're like,

I have too many customers, the system's breaking every day. That's a very good problem to have.

No one's excited by, I have the most efficient system ever.

We found out our system scales really well. We had one accident when one of our Q engineers was testing cloaked text messages. He actually built an infinite loop and we had sent 16 million text messages to ourselves in like seconds.

And we're like, oh shoot, I guess the server scales really well.

But that was a fun learning moment for me.

Make some good decisions early on, but you don't need to make the best decisions.

My name is Arjun Pernagar. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Clote.

This is Code Story, the podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries who share in the critical moments of what it takes to change in industry and build and lead.

A team that has your back.

I'm your host, Noah Laparte.

And today, how Arjun Batnaga created the solution to eliminate the pressure of being forced to share personal info.

All this and more on Code Story.

Arjan Batanaga has been coding since he was 10 years old,

and in general his family is full of entrepreneurs running their own businesses.

In fact, his brother is his co-founder in his current business.

He loves to read, write, and play tennis in a spare time, along with playing music.

In general, he's passionate about creating and was inspired early on by the Inkhart series of books.

Arjun decided to build a prototype system which integrated all the data from every aspect of his life.

What he figured out was that he didn't trust other companies to handle the data from these systems,

and he needed a way to cloak his true credentials from those he utilized on other platforms.

This is the creation story of Cloaked.
