Thoughts from the Team

We believe that transparency is important, even from the start. Here's what BudSense development team members say about their experience building BudSense so far:

Sheroze feels that at BudSense, creativity thrives, mentorship shines, and every project offers the chance to grow and make an impact.

"When I first applied, I wasn't sure what to expect. But during my interview, I was completely blown away--our product's UI/UX, the less than 1% churn rate, and the sheer potential of the data we work with changed everything. I've been able to dive into exciting projects from day one, like developing a tool that leverages our entire codebase and writing new features powered by AI.

At BudSense, you're not just knocking out tickets. You have the chance to shape your role and tackle projects that align with your passions and skills. The mentorship and support from our leadership, especially Andrew, have been a highlight for me. It's like owning an Apple product--everything is intuitive, seamless, and just works.

Creativity isn't just encouraged here; it's valued. Here at BudSense, we're building a garden. The growth feels natural, and the impact is real. If you want to grow and thrive, this is the place for you."

Sheroze Ajmal, Senior AI Developer
Kevin reflects on the journey from planting the first seed to building a strong foundation, sharing that BudSense has grown into a thriving company where hard work and innovation make a lasting impact.

"I joined BudSense at its inception, during an exciting time in an emerging cannabis market. Our goal was simple: fill the gap in cannabis merchandising and make selling cannabis easy. I had the privilege of helping plant the original seed of BudSense.

That tiny seed required immense care, effort, and nourishment to grow into the giant tree it is today--one that serves hundreds of stores and provides fulfilling opportunities for our team. Building our digital infrastructure has been a labor of love, simplifying the complexities of cannabis merchandising.

There's a running joke: 'It's just cannabis--how hard can it be?' Turns out, without the right foundation, it can be incredibly challenging! That's why I'm so proud of the strong digital backbone we've built, which will serve our customers and team for many years to come.

The future of BudSense is undeniably bright. What excites me most is knowing that my hard work now serves others, both externally and internally. Come Join Us!"
