Bobby John - CEO
Bobby John is a visionary executive, a seasoned technology expert, and a successful entrepreneur driven by the desire to craft outstanding products and businesses. In 2001, Bobby founded Band of Coders, a custom software engineering company.
Early in his career, Bobby realized that true innovation requires more than talent and hard work—it demands an environment where creativity can flourish. With this belief, Bobby embarked on a journey to create his own office and business where engineers like him could thrive without constraints.
What began as a personal mission quickly evolved into a movement. Bobby's success wasn't just about creating a prosperous business for himself; it was about empowering other engineers to do the same. He envisioned a world where every software engineer could paint their own picture of success, equipped with the tools and support they needed to build their future.
Today, our company stands as a testament to Bobby's vision. We are committed to providing engineers with the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to turn their clients' ideas into successful realities.
This fundamental principle has allowed Band of Coders to cultivate a thriving environment where both clients and developers can prosper.
