About


The other half of the resume.

A fair amount of the software the fire service runs on was written by firefighters. Someone gets fed up with a broken workflow, builds a fix, ships it. That's a good thing, it gets you products that work written by people who understand them, and it's not unusual.

What's less common is a fire-service company that has the other half of the resume. Knowing what to build is one skill. Building software that holds up when a fire is waiting on it is a different one, and it's the one we spent our careers in before we ever pointed it at mobilization.

Irene Voskamp

CEO

Irene Voskamp

Irene runs product and the relationships, and she's the IT director for the San Juan and Orcas Island fire districts, which makes her the person those agencies call when something breaks at two in the morning. She's a volunteer firefighter at San Juan Fire, and she's been mobilized herself, sixteen hours a day fighting brush fires in the mountains of Eastern Washington. Before joining the fire service, she spent two decades on software that isn't allowed to go down. She ran government cloud infrastructure and stood up an operational analysis center for the U.S. intelligence community, the kind of place where an outage isn't an inconvenience; it's a matter of life and death. That's the instinct she brings to StationWorks. Build it like lives depend on it, because they will.

Adam Greene

CTO

Adam Greene

Adam writes the software. He's been on the San Juan Fire roster for eight years, and when he's not on a call or in the code, he runs a commercial sheep farm on the island. Ask anyone in the San Juans; they know the farm. He's spent eighteen years building software and running engineering teams. He founded a medical-device startup, sold it to a public company, and stayed on to run the software side after the acquisition. Medical devices live in a corner of the world where "mostly works" isn't going to cut it. The software he builds has to work all the time, every time, no matter what.

So yes, we're firefighters, and that's how we know what's broken. Mobilize is the tool that will stand up under a real mobilization because we're experts at building and running software that won't fail.
