Twelve years and counting! 🎉
We started Honeybadger in 2012 when we became frustrated with the current monitoring tools on the market. We started with no outside funding and a total commitment to building a sustainable business with a singular mission: to make developers' lives better.
Today, tens of thousands of developers ship better software with Honeybadger. We couldn't have done this without the support and encouragement of our awesome customers—thank you!
Meet the 'Badgers
Acquaintances are often surprised that Honeybadger isn't a thirty-person company. We're proof of what you can accomplish with a few highly-focused people!
Ben Curtis
Ben has been developing web apps and building startups since '99, and fell in love with Ruby and Rails in 2005. Before co-founding Honeybadger, he launched a couple of his own startups: Catch the Best, to help companies manage the hiring process, and RailsKits, to help Rails developers get a jump start on their projects.
Ben's role at Honeybadger ranges from bare-metal to front-end... he keeps the server lights blinking happily, builds a lot of the back-end Rails code, and dips his toes into the front-end code from time to time.
When he's not working, Ben likes to hang out with his wife and kids, ride his road bike, and of course hack on open source projects. :)
Joshua Wood
Josh started hacking on IRC scripts in the late nineties and has been hacking on computers (and businesses) ever since. He works on most of Honeybadger, leads marketing and developer relations, and is involved in many open-source projects.
Before Honeybadger, Josh built a Ruby on Rails consulting business. For ten years, he worked with technology startups and companies of all sizes to build, improve, and fix their web applications.
Josh lives in the forest with his wife and kids and likes reading, writing, and taking pictures when not connected to the internet.
Kevin Webster
Kevin is the freshest Honeybadger (both in time and breakdancing abilities). Kevin has been building things with software since his dad brought home the family IBM 386. He fancies himself a bit of a programming polyglot. When he's not compromising his ability to write Ruby by learning new languages, he enjoys hiking through the Oregon wilderness, hanging with his family, or watching cringeworthy b-list movies.
Roel Bondoc
Throughout his career, Roel has worked with various languages and frameworks like ColdFusion, C#, VB, Perl, PHP, and Python. He found his true calling working with Ruby on Rails. Now he's a software developer for Honeybadger working on the things he enjoys most!
Other than hacking on his next side project, he also likes writing, basketball, cycling, and online competitive video games. You'll also find him playing Pokemon TCG with his wife and kids.
Pangratios Cosma
Pan (short for Pangratios) is a seasoned software engineer from the sunny island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. With a career spanning many roles—Software Engineer, Team Lead, Software Architect, Head of Engineering, and even CTO for his own startup—he brings a wealth of experience to Honeybadger.
A multilingual programmer (C#, Java, Python, PHP, JavaScript) who loves learning new technologies, Pan maintains Honeybadger's open-source client integration packages, assists with customer support, and improves code quality.
Once an avid soccer player, Pan’s sports career took a turn after two knee surgeries, leading him to explore snowboarding for a while—to keep things interesting. These days, when not immersed in code, Pan enjoys spending time with his family and friends or playing computer games.
