Anthony Mainchain

CTO & Co-Founder @LeadSift. I believe nothing technical is impossible (to build), and there is more than one way to "skin a cat". I enjoy finding the most optimal (proper) way to solve a problem.

I'm a product person, a programmer, and an engineering leader. I ❤ creating scalable web apps with amazingly great UI/UX. I'm interested in startups and entrepreneurship, and especially B2B SaaS. After nearly 7 years working in Silicon Valley, I'm now back in Florida where remote work is my jam. I’m currently Director of Engineering & Product at Close.com (which I helped start), building a product people love and growing our SaaS business to be something great. Previously I spent two years leading the Engineering team at Quizlet, building study tools that millions of students relied upon. I’ve also interned at Google and Yahoo! as a software engineer, and did lots of freelance website design while at the University of Florida. I write in JavaScript, CSS, Python, and PHP. I also can speak to databases and make servers do stuff. I like working on scalability, performance, design, and great user experiences. https://philfreo.com/ https://twitter.com/philfreo
