Code Story

Their tech. Their products. Their stories. In a tech startup, how do you get from an idea on the back of a napkin to a fully functioning product? Code Story is a podcast featuring tech leaders, reflecting the roads they travelled and the products they created. On the show, we interview tech visionaries, digging into the critical moments of what it takes to change an industry, and build (and lead) a team that has your back. Hosted by Noah Labhart, this show is a window into the digital startup world. In their own words, tech veterans share what it feels like to create a world class product, how to recover from critical mistakes, and how to scale your solution to the masses. This podcast is for the tech leader, CTO, CEO, developer, software architect, startup leader, disruptive visionary - or the curious minded individual, who wants to know what a builder goes through in creating world changing technology.

S5 Bonus: Phil Lawson-Shanks, Aligned

Phill Lawson-Shanks has had a convoluted path into tech. In the past, he worked for a company that owned and operated airpots in Europe. He got involved in the very early days of servers - so early, that this was back when they were just PC's under someones desk. This took him down the path of migrating mainframes to more cost effective, productivity machines. He worked for Compaq at one point, which brought him to the states. Personally, he enjoys risk taking. He rides a Ducati motorbike way too fast, enjoys adventure sports, jumping out of planes, and rock climbing.

In 2013, the founders of Phil's current company saw the way the data center industry was going. They saw that the energy consumption around DC's was going to be astronomical. They started building some incredibly innovative things in this area, and got Phil's attention. Three years ago, he joined the team.

This is the creation story of Aligned.
