Our Team

Sam spent the last five years in director-level product design, product management and business development roles at Avid. Sam’s exclusive focus was Avid’s Interplay product line, which he helped grow from a very early 1.1 version into an industry leader. With axle, Sam brings years of media management experience to an emerging market of teams around the world in need of simple tools to manage their media.

Before co-founding axle, Patrice spent seven years as the product manager (and previously customer support manager) for SeeFile, a lightweight digital asset management system for photography and print media. Patrice has extensive experience with web coding, user interface design, and perhaps most importantly, direct customer dialogue.

Before co-founding axle, Steve was the lead programmer on SeeFile, as well as a series of distributed processing and client-server software projects developed at Torque Systems. Steve has an in-depth background in coding, including years of experience developing compilers for Intergraph, an early RISC processor vendor.
