Chaim Sajnovsky talks with Dave Rael about communication, the need for software developers, business success, and openness
Chaim Sajnovsky worked for 12 years in the TV broadcast industry and was deeply immersed in the birth of digital video. Then he decided to return to his first love as a child: programming. After working for years as developer, he founded b7dev, an on-demand developer service. He works hard to bridge customer and developer needs, trying to translate non-shared language for both parties in order to make successful projects a reality. He is continuously researching new developer pools to help them reach new heights.
