Our Founder

Hi there! My name is Steph and I'm the founder of CodeGem. After studying management engineering and working as a software engineer at top companies like Apple and Uber. I was shocked by the lack of tooling in the engineering management space. When teams are left to operate in the dark, key decisions are made based on gut feel and anecdotes, causing friction, bottlenecks, and mediocre outcomes. That's why we built CodeGem
