Meet the Team

As with all of GoSite’s departments, the engineering team is made up of a friendly group of people with unique backgrounds. GoSite values unique ideas and varying levels of experience since they help create well-rounded solutions for our customers—so if you interview for GoSite, don’t be afraid to share your story!

Here are a few of our team members:

Abhiram Ganapavarapu

Abhiram is a mobile engineer who focuses on native Android application development. He joined the team with five years of experience in Android development and a Master’s in Microelectronic Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

In his spare time, Abhiram enjoys traveling, watching science fiction series, playing video games, and keeping up with any new tech.

Pace Hartmann

Pace is a software engineer for GoSite’s Platform. While he’s originally from Michigan, Pace moved to San Diego to study data science at the University of California, San Diego. He started his career at Gosite over two years ago as a Sales Development Representative and gradually transitioned to data science intern, growth engineer, and now, software engineer.

Fun fact about Pace, he’s lived in seven different states and outside of the country—he uses the experiences he’s gained to approach his work with a fresh perspective.

Yi Angelov

Yi is a full-stack engineer on the GoSite’s Payments team. She grew up in northeast China and later moved to the south to work. Six years ago, Yi came to the U.S. as a Chinese teacher but decided her passions were elsewhere, and pivoted her career to software development three years ago.

When she’s not creating innovative solutions for small business owners, Yi enjoys swimming, hiking, yoga, as well as traveling and exploring local foods.
