I started as a developer using Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like Visual Studio, so when I first used Cursor, it felt natural.

Growing as Makers

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to serve as a coding mentor for the Dexter FIRST Robotics FTC team (Team 16714- the Dreadbolts!).

Culture

Atomic is set up as a pass-through legal entity with employee owners who can own shares in our private business entity.

At Atomic Object, we strive to create a culture of high trust, believing in our employees to make the best decision for our client's project.
