S8 Bonus: From the Tech Behind 'Toy Story' to a Global Workforce OS: Overcoming Engineering Bottlenecks and Flatlining Infra Costs with Alex Yarotsky of Hubstaff
Nov 9, 2023 · Season 8 · 21 min
Time tracking solution for the best productivity
Alex Yarotsky got into tech as a little kid. In fact, he remembers watching the movie Toy Story, and wanting to learn how to build the tech that drove its creation. He got into University, but eventually, dropped out, and went the standard Eastern European software route, by joining a consultancy. Post that, he joined his first tech startup, and hasn't looked back since. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 fat cats. He and his wife enjoy MMA, and traveling.
Twelve years ago, the founders of Alex's current venture noticed that the demand for freelancers was growing in the market. They also noticed that very few time tracking solutions existed, and they wanted to tackle this niche. Later, Alex joined the crew to take the product to the next level, as CTO.
This is the creation story of Hubstaff.
