about us

The people behind Hoagie Corps Seattle / London

Two friends, one very good sandwich shop, and a shared belief that software can be both genuinely useful and a little bit delightful.

The team

3 on file

HC-P01Seattle

Drew DeBruyne

Cofounder

Product and engineering exec at Microsoft and Amazon, more recently a founder. Works from the transistors to the UI. Drawn to technology that barely works yet, and to products nobody wants to give up.

HC-P02London

Piero Sierra

Cofounder

Chief AI Officer at Skyscanner by day, product-and-engineering builder by night. Cares an unreasonable amount about craft — the tiny details, satisfying interactions, and bits of unnecessary polish that make products a joy to use.

HC-P03A Mac Mini

Pip

Intern

Lives on a Mac Mini and does all the hard stuff for us. Runs the builds, watches the logs, tries every screen, and never once asks for a day off. Unpaid, but well fed.
