Hi, I’m Joey Pedicini.

Recently I led the frontend development for Amazon’s initiative to integrate One Medical membership into the Amazon Prime benefits. Not too long into the project, I found out I would need to relocate my family to Seattle or resign. Despite the stress and pressure from this situation, I fulfilled my responsibilities and completed the project on time. I hoped that my strong effort would give me some room for negotiation, especially since I had previously negotiated a remote position when I first joined Amazon in early 2022. Unfortunately, Amazon was unwilling to budge on their policy, and so I resigned.

This experience ignited a strong desire to take a leap of faith into entrepreneurship. It led me to go all-in on building CleverApply alongside my co-founder, Jahan Ghaznavi. Working with him as his CTO has been an incredible journey, and I'm thrilled to see where this venture takes us.
