About

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.

Alexander Maher
Alexander MaherFounder

Alex started his career at a Big 4 Accounting firm as a CPA doing mostly IT audits. After teaching himself to code, he switched into an internal role at the firm managing software development teams. He left the accounting world in 2018 to become the Director of Software Development at a publicly traded telcom construction company. He worked there 4 years before leaving to start UpLink in May of 2022. Alex lives in Florida with his wife, Laura, and their two sons, Brooks (6) and Jack (2).

Alexander Grant
Alexander GrantFounder

Alex is a strong technical leader with a passion for software development. He specializes in the end-to-end software delivery cycle, from writing scalable and understandable code to complete full-stack automated testing. Highlights of his career thus far include scaling a data acquisition platform from a dozen users in the US to 20k users globally over the course of 2 years.

Brady Ochse
Brady OchseFounder

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 YarmeschFounder
Apple

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.
