Joe Banks

Headshot of Joe Banks

SVP, Engineering

These days, Joe leads the development team and technology strategy at UpCity, but he cut his teeth writing code for the Timex Sinclair 1000 💻 in the early 80s. After university 🎓 and stints as a 🕺 and 👨‍🍳, he returned to his tech roots and still enjoys developing software for real life applications. With more than 20 years of experience in the software industry, Joe is a hands-on developer who has led teams both small and large, most recently at Groupon and IDEO Chicago. Joe enjoys paddleboarding 🏄‍♂️,  🚵‍♂️, and other activities that may lead to broken bones 🤕. He lives on a small farm 🚜 in Washington state with his wife 👩‍🌾, their 🧒🏻🧒🏻🧒🏻 and a bunch of 🐈🐶🐴🐓🐝🐐.

Joe's Most Relatable UpCity Value:

Trustworthy. Trust just makes life simpler. It’s a shortcut to action. It takes too much extra time and energy to work with someone you can’t trust.
