Origin Stories #3 - Kristaps Grinbergs - Founder of Qminder

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with Kristaps Grinbergs, iOS developer and founder of Qminder. We discuss how he got his start building websites in the late 90's, the interesting paths students take in Latvia and how his company was created at a hackathon.

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.
