Summary
🤩
RockstarAdam Setch is a founder and technology leader based in Miami who blends enterprise architecture with hands-on open source engineering.

He’s a founding member of Apollo GraphQL’s Technical Advisory Board and serves on advisory boards like LaunchDarkly, while also creating productivity tools such as Atlassify and maintaining Gitify.
