We had a deadline. We had overcommitted. There was an expectation that the work was going to be, that we were going to get a release out that day. I'm sitting at my desk. The product manager has his desk next to me. I looked at everyone and said, all right, we're clearly not going to launch today. The product manager raised his eyebrow at me and I said, we're not going to get this done.

So how do we solve this? And we'll launch when we launch. I was going to go to our boss and say, I'm sorry. We did our best, and it's on me, and it is what it is. My willingness to say, look, I screwed up, it's on me, it took the pressure off of them. And suddenly, people are relaxed, identify the source of the problem, and we actually launched.

Presence is a digital consultancy. So we build digital products for folks and we really like to make that distinction in digital products. We're not really focused on building like marketing websites or anything like that. Our goal is to help companies take an idea or a business or a product and put it into the digital space. And that could be obviously on the web, it could be mobile devices.

We've done IoT implementations in the past, and we can help a company think through a strategy, we hook them up with designers, but more importantly, as we get in there, we really push forward on their actual build, what they're gonna put out there in this space. We've worked with small companies, we've worked with large companies, so startups all the way up to large enterprises.

Personally, I'm VP of Engineering and our CISO primarily been focused on building out our team, working on our process, and then making sure that the teams are able to deliver for our clients. And then on the security side, helping our clients if they have any questions around security, and then also drove our SOC 2 process. So we've had four audits.

So we went from nothing all the way up to our fourth audit, and they've been really good. And then I've been with the company for, it's 11 years since August. And the reason I always draw that is I started with the company as a consultant. So everyone started in the company as a consultant, except for our founder. And then at some point, I'd say about six, seven months in, he brought me on board.
