In this episode, I chat with Julianna, co-founder and CTO of Stytch, a platform for authentication and identity management. Julianna shares her journey from studying computer science at Stanford to working at Plaid and co-founding Stytch. She discusses the challenges in securing customer data and scaling a mission critical platform, especially across a large range of client environments. Julianna also highlights the key role of comprehensive documentation to building a developer product and maintaining balance between security and ease of use. The result is an identify platform that powers companies from Zapier to Checkr.
