Meet the Team
Benny K.
Co-founder and Head of Content
I’ve worked in Technology for nearly a decade, spanning my career over IT Security, Xbox Support, and as a CRM Business Analyst. From providing technical support for a Fortune 500 company to solving complex issues for Xbox players, I’ve always found myself helping people with their problems with tech.
In my free time, I love to play Pickleball, read fantasy novels, and travel to international destinations.
Trae J.
Co-founder and Head of Operations
As a lifelong tech enthusiast and former UX designer, I have always been passionate about the intersection of technology and design. As a first time homeowner, I have really dug into the craft of home automation, and the issues that sometimes come with it. Hence, the creation of the site you are on now.
Father of two, lover of basketball, good food and good times.
Adam C.
Head of Engineering
I love what I do. Web development and engineering represents the perfect confluence of large-scale problem solving and planning, puzzle solving, and creativity. Every day I get to help Benny and Trae execute their vision of serving digital experiences that ease the process of adopting the smart home tech we’re all so excited about.
Family man, endless tinkerer, insatiably curious.
