When Perry Wu and I started BitGravity we had high hopes and dreams to build technology that may someday change the Internet.  The thought of someday creating technology that pushes the limits of the Internet gave me the drive to build our first server farms in my garage, design a new traffic distribution system, and eventually take our baby and scale it across the entire planet.

As the company grew from my garage and a Starbucks “office”, our views began to culminate.  I began to view software as art and not merely a means to an end. I also began to view our team of technologists as wizards that could create and accomplish anything. To this day, if I were to ask one of our principle engineers Edward Crump if something were possible he would undoubtedly respond with his token mantra:

The view that Internet service engineering is an art with endless possibilities has become a philosophical pillar here at BitGravity.  We view the designs on the network, servers, drivers, kernels, and everything up the stack should be done as an art, not strictly a science that results in a bottom line.

It is our view that new technology is only possible because passionate people dream of new concepts and harness their passion to drive it to completion.  It’s those same people who are not afraid to answer a question that appears to be impossible to solve.

As we continue to develop our network something unexpected is happening:  Our customers’ creativity is exploding and we are in awe of their accomplishments.  Every day we see our customers use our technology to do something new, unique, and innovative, which further motivates us to work harder and stretch the limits of the Internet.

As the Chief Technologist here at BitGravity, I am pleased to introduce our Sandbox.  We will be releasing free technology, views and opinions of our developers, and generally using this area as a playful outlet for technology and philanthropy that should give back to the general community that has helped us become successful.
