Tom Medema is Dutch, and grew up in a small village in the Netherlands. This allowed him to explore what else was out there, which led to him living in 5 different countries. Alongside that, he loves to travel and reads a lot of fantasy novels. We had a good chat about Tolkien books, Dune, and he recommended that I check out the Cradle series. We both highly recommend the Licanus Trilogy, for anyone who is interested in their next read.Prior to his current venture, Tom was the CTO at a startup and found himself having to hire people fast, while maintaining that the people he hired were a good fit for the company. Hiring at their current geo only was not going to work, so they had to look remote - and he quickly felt the pains of ineffective tools and methods for doing so.This is the creation story of Bubbles.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablLinksWebsite: https://www.usebubbles.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommedema/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
