Joe Palmer is also featured on our premiere Features Page, and you can read their podcast interview transcript.

in an interview with iProov, Joe stated, “I met Andrew Bud, CEO and Founder of iProov, nearly eight years ago. We were introduced through my former supervisor at University College London (UCL), Professor Phillip Treleaven. Andrew had asked Professor Treleaven to recommend someone with development skills who could help him change the world with a new idea.

Andrew explained his idea very well – I was really excited by what I heard and knew he was onto something special – so I came on board. For the first 18 months at iProov, I was focused on developing code. This included a basic Android app, an API and a core analysis system that used GPUs to accelerate the image processing. Dominic Forrest, our now-CTO, joined in 2013 and between the two of us, we redesigned the system and built a new version that was architectured to allow us to scale. It’s been improved hugely since then, but the basic micro-services architecture we developed back then is still the foundation of what we have at iProov today.
