Alex Sopinka
Serial Entrepreneur. Coder. Taco Lover.
Founder of Obie, acquired by Lessonly, subsequently acquired by Seismic.
You can find me working on a side project, flying on a plane somewhere, or roasting hot dogs at my cabin.
I'm happy to share what I've learned in my life, and I'm a brutally honest open book.
