Vasanth brings deep development experience from delivering software solutions and improving user experiences for two FTSE 250 technology firms. At acasa, anything technology or product related runs through Vasanth. He loves the intersection of data, property and people and solving real world problems with tech. He has encountered his fair share of problems in the housing sector, and has made it his mission to build technology to make housesharing less stressful and more delightful.

Ollie joined acasa having already built a bill splitting tool for himself and is immersed in making the mobile and web app better every day for housemates like himself. When he's not out sailing, he's fixing missing semi-colons in Vasanth's code and improving our build and deployment processes. Despite all that, he is most proud of having the least active Twitter account of anyone on the team.

Pach joined acasa having founded his own start up in the shared billing space. He has a strong desire in realising the vision of creating a product that makes the world live better together. At acasa Pach's core focus is throwing jokes at Mike and then its commercial partnerships, integrations and payments.

Julianne, originally from Washington State came to London to join the acasa marketing team.

When shown the Taylor Swift calendar at acasa HQ, Shad knew he'd found his second home. His main area of expertise however, is design. Whether a new feature is in ideation, prototyping or production, Shad will be there to make sure it will delight our house sharers. Outside of acasa he's an avid downhill longboarder, trying to find the best hills in the world to hurt himself on. In his spare time he can be found irritating Vas or talking about Pokemon.

With Transylvanian roots, right from the heart of Dracula’s land, Mel brings love for all things mobile and AI in the office. She has already founded (and failed) a tech startup in the fashion industry, knowing the joys and pains of building products. Mel shipped software for companies like Google and Nokia before and aims to always build cool things matter. When she’s not writing code, she loves jamming to jazzy tunes and empowering women in business.

Having originally come from a social enterprise background, Mike is a passionate advocate of acasa directly helping to change the world with green energy and our 1% charity pledge. Working together with Pach for a few years previously, Mike now leads our delivery of acasa Services and integration with our awesome partners. When he's not talking about bills, he's probably talking about solar lamps and his past ventures to deliver green energy to the world.

There are two things you can assume when you meet Daniel, he is holding a coffee and planning his next weekend away. Obsessed with product, you can find him toiling away, making sure that the app is better for all housemates and obsessing over any dashboards found in the office. When he isn't in the office, prepare to see him on a bike, cycling the streets, or getting excited about the new acasa coffee blend he is concocting.
