He studied aerospace engineering in college, but enjoyed tech and pogromming way more and joined the LA development community 12 years ago. Outside of tech, he plays beach volleyball, hikes, and enjoys little vacations here and there.Sean and his co-founder had an idea to build a modern appointment scheduling solution, specifically for salons and spas - so called self care businesses, traditionally underserved. They interviewed owners and built and built until they had a solution to power a 6 person salon.This is the creation story of Boulevard.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablSupportZebraLinksWebsite: https://www.joinblvd.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanstavropoulos/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy &amp; Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
