Overview

UpLink's founding team worked as auditors and software engineers at PwC where they saw firsthand how difficult it was to collect thousands of documents from clients.

Alex Maher and Alex Grant met working on PwC’s big data analytics platform, scaling it from 0 to 20k users globally. Brady and Nick met while studying CS at a top 5 public university, but still insist they were self-taught. They were, by far, the top developers on Alex Maher’s team before starting UpLink. Together they ran Dycom's field systems segment, supporting 15k users.

Brady Ochse

Founder

Brady has always been obsessed with figuring out how things work, and his curiosity led him to computers. When he discovered the magic of making a machine do something with just words, he found a lifelong passion. That passion turned into disillusion when at a large company, but Brady realized software could be great with more emphasis on quality, the user, and thoughtful decision making. So, he left the corporate world to join people who share his love for building something truly great.

Nicholas Yarmesch

Founder

Ever since he can remember, Nick has been interested in technology. His idea of fun includes reading technical manuals for microcontrollers and reverse engineering the barcodes on Nespresso capsules. In college, he built the hardware and developed the software to retrofit his 2002 Lexus with a secure receiver that unlocked his car when he approached wearing his Apple Watch. You’re most likely to run into Nick in his blue Cayman on the trip between his house and Starbucks.
