Tim Falls

Howdy! I'm Tim Falls. Building community is my craft. What do you make?

After completing my MBA at CU-Boulder in May 2010, I re-started my career by joining a little startup called SendGrid, in Boulder, CO. We make it easy for developers to integrate email into their applications and arm them with APIs and webhooks to do more with email. With the help of a global team of Developer Evangelists, we're fostering community for builders and sparking innovation throughout the internet. Specialties: I like to help people. Among other things, I help them come together and provide each other mutual value, through rich, fun, and rewarding interaction. I build community for a living @SendGrid and for fun @BoulderBeta. I believe that hustle will always prevail.  - Tim Falls
