Summary

Tameem Hourani was born in the Middle East, on a small island. He came to the states, Boston specifically, for school in 2006. He planned on 4 years of engineering, which turned into 19 years of life. He became a citizen of the US during COVID, and spent many years of his career at Wayfair, which he throughly enjoyed. But outside of tech, he is a new father and spends a lot of time with his newborn. He loves being in the ocean, scuba diving, kite surfing and along side that, collecting vintage watches. In the past, Tameem had been burned by consulting firms. He saw a gap in the industry, and when he left his prior role at Wayfair, he wanted to become a trusted, transparent technology partner - the one that he had longed for in his previous roles. This is the creation story of RapDev.

0:52.4	The problem we were solving at Wayfair was around deploying six or seven hundred times
0:57.0	of data production. And if you think about all the public company requirements that wrap around
1:02.0	that, it's pretty crazy, right? You got to do a ton of audits, you have some paper trails,
1:06.0	you got to make sure your SOX compliance and your PCI complies. There's all these requirements
1:10.0	that are enforced just by proxy being a public company and then by proxy being over a billion dollars.
1:14.3	We solved those problems using platforms like ServiceNow and some custom code, but when I went to
1:18.3	talk about them at conferences, very quickly realized a lot of public companies, especially in the
1:22.9	banking sector, had the same exact problems. They're not able to adopt true DevOps methodologies or
1:28.0	practices or whatever buzzer do I use just because of all the regulatory boundaries.
