This first post features Chris aka RevolvingDork, one of Etsy's founders and a member of the Engineering Team.

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We'll be posting a series of About Us pieces About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page). to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our

Ha...love it, your avatar really does look like you.

Nice idea, this series of articles. Only fair since you all do articles on etsy artists that you get some time in the spotlight too isn't it.

Note to RD: give your self an outside-Etsy vacation; you deserve it!

sometimes I feel bad because I have to bug Chris with lots of annoying questions.

then I realize I LIKE annoying him...so it all works out in the end.
