Bio
I'm Alex Circei, co-founder and CEO of Waydev (YC W21). I started my first company in Romania at 21 and have spent 18+ years building startups. In 2017 I launched Waydev, defining the Software Engineering Intelligence category — bootstrapped to profitability, recognized by Gartner and G2, and trusted by Fortune 500 teams at American Express, Caterpillar, Dropbox, and PwC.
