Meet Team PeoplePerHour

Born on labour day Xenios has been tasked by cosmic forces to disrupt the labour market. He started PeoplePerHour in mid 2007 manually micro-brokering small projects between business and freelancers using pen, paper and a phone (occasionally email too!).

Today, 700K+ lines of code later, the site serves over 1m people worldwide, and Xenios has gone from pen & paper to being on BBC News, Bloomberg, Wired, Forbes and many more, as a thought leader in the burgeoning freelance / on-demand economy.

When not working (which isn’t very often), he blogs, paints, visits art galleries, cooks messy meals (more often than not too close to burning his place down), plays sports or watches movies. He holds an MA & MEng from the University of Cambridge and did a short stint at Harvard Business School - enough to convince him never to do an MBA!

Being the founder developer (first full-time developer) at PeoplePerHour in 2008, I remember the days where the technical landscape was quaint - where we didn’t use Amazon Web Services, or GitHub, where adding rounded corners to a button took an hour to do, where being a “full stack developer” was actually normal, rather than the super-power it is today.

Technology is changing fast, things are becoming easier and easier to build, yet user expectations are higher than ever. It really is ever so exciting! I love being a part of it!

Love to explore systems, countries and meet new people. A social introvert and avid book, comic, graphic novel, series and film consumer!

Hello, I’m Yahya, the one who is in love with JavaScript. I am really passionate about learning and understanding technology, seeking ways to impact the lives of others. When not coding I am either gaming or travelling, so if you are going anywhere interesting or playing in a party at Dota 2 do let me know!

Hello there! My name is Chloe and I joined the PeoplePerHour Site Reliability Engineering team in May 2021 but have since gotten involved in many types of website development. I love all aspects of technology but am currently really interested in cyber security.

When I am not at work, I spend most of my time with my family and doing DIY. Some of my many hobbies are astrophysics, reading, HIIT training, travelling, hiking, playing the guitar, drawing and dancing.

I’m very happy to be part of the team!

Being years in Customer Support, I am armed with patience and eager to help!

I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and I have more than 16 years experience in Customer Support and Administration. I have worked in travel, electronics and IT and spent more than 4 years working as a Call Centre Executive / Senior Agent for US and UK companies including British Telecom and Earthlink (Internet Service Providers) and joined PeoplePerHour in 2010 as a Customer Support Agent. In my spare time I love playing with my 3 year old, listening to old Indian melodies and Cricket (watching, rather than playing!).
