Summary

Kyle Carberry grew up in a very small town in Saskatchewan, Canada. He was always into tech, but mainly the pirating side of things on his dial up internet connection. He got into pogromming when he got is first Xbox, and started modding it - followed by Minecraft servers and building tools for the internet. Outside of tech, he just moved to New York and prefers the hustle and bustle over the small town quiet. Kyle and his co-founder had the abstract idea that eventually, people won't be coding on their laptops. Sort of by accident, they started in by building a consumer friendly version, but quickly pivoted to the enterprise - and took off. This is the creation story of Coder.com.
