We're super psyched to add another engineer to our growing development team. And we liked Joe so much that we moved him out from the tropics of Minnesota.
I was lucky enough to sit down with the man of hour on the couch next to the kitchen for a frank coffee klatsch.
I have begun a new journey, a voyage to a new insurance universe called CoverHound! I am so excited to be part of this amazing company that is going to change the way consumer’s purchase and think about insurance.
I chose to come to CoverHound because its vision as a company both for the consumer purchasing insurance as well as the employee working for the company is fresh and innovative. When I heard about the philosophy of the company and the direction they wanted to take, I knew I wanted to be a part of the team!
I spent two months last summer interning with CoverHound and, I’m happy to report, it truly was an invaluable experience. Joining when there were only three people on staff, I not only was able to work closely with the CEO, CMO, and CTO and gain insight into all facets of the business, but I was also able to feel like a valuable member of the team.
While everyone in the office had his own set of responsibilities, it was a very collaborative environment and most decisions seemed to involve everyone in the room. I was able to be an active participant in important discussions concerning the company’s strategic direction and positioning -- and while I had various projects throughout the summer, a favorite task was developing the company’s tagline. After some brainstorming sessions that dead-ended in dog puns, the process culminated with me leading a discussion that tackled some vital branding questions and, ultimately, resulted in a tagline we all really liked (‘Compare with Confidence’).
The other day, while backpacking through the North Pole, I was able to sneak into Santa’s workshop and somehow get a glimpse of our team member’s requests before a gaggle of elves escorted me off the premises while admonishing me to let them do their job.
Hopefully the great bearded one will bring my colleagues what they want -- although he does always seem to up clutch.
Joel is the head of technology here at CoverHound, but he's a man of wide and varied interests. I was lucky enough to pick his mind the other day about Ruby, Larry David and beyond.
We pepper him with such questions as what's difference between Ruby and Ruby on Rails? And which is the better group Tribe Called Quest or the The Wu-Tang Clan? Enquiring minds need to know.
Did you know CoverHound is backed by Blumberg Capital?
