Meeting the Brains Behind FSF

About the Founder

My name is Rey Hill and I am the lead programmer at FSF. I first got into programming as I was wrapping up my bachelor's degree and beginning my Masters in Education at Columbia University.

Many teachers have a private tutoring business on the side and I understood that a huge component to that was having a personal website. I got my start with web technologies in order to expand my own reach as a teacher.

Throughout the process of learning new technologies in order to achieve my goals, I felt as though I had uncovered a different dimension and it activated something within me. Programming presented itself to me as a world with its own rules, a place where your creativity was your only limit. If you could imagine it and were willing to learn, you could build it.

I started FSF so I could share my ever expanding skillset and knowledge.

Professional Style

I complete my tasks on time and work very meticulously. When taking on a new project, I break it down into it's sub components and then make an objective out of creating, testing, and integrating every part. This allows me to view each feature in isolation and make sure it works well with the rest of the software.

I also take time to explain to you how your website is working under the hood. By investing time in your understanding, support becomes seamless and you'll have a much better understanding of how we can expand the website as your business grows.

How Rey's Upbringing Informs His Approach to Business

In my youth, my parents owned and operated a factory that produced textile goods for various clients across the United States. My family's business exposed me to workplace standards at a very young age. I learned the value of on-time delivery, positive relationships, high standards, and clear communication by watching my parents do the work that sustained our family each day.

I apply these early lessons to my current approach by prioritizing professional growth and maintaining my relationships. When you work with me, you're working with someone that was brought up with an “old school” approach to business. I take pride in my ability to find common ground with people and collaborate.
