Thoughts and views from the BearTech team, on the work and the life around it.
Co-founding a company with my husband, the honest version: the storming, the imposter syndrome, the rules we made, and why it is still the best thing we have done.
No code until my twenties, a degree in ecology, and a bootcamp offer that arrived on a balcony in Thailand. A non-linear route into software engineering.
Two years ago I left a comfortable corporate role, and a fresh mortgage, to become BearTech's first engineer. Why I would make the same call every time.
Leaving twenty years of corporate life to start a company, with no idea how to run a business or the tech sector I was walking into. What I learned the hard way.
For decades, careers climbed a straight ladder. Today the norm is squigglier: lateral moves, pivots and reinvention, and BearTech sees that diversity of experience as a strength.
Why we reach for deterministic code before an AI model, and how we decide where the model actually earns its place.
