Code Story

S4 E12: Richard Barkley, Cloudsnap

Richard Barkley is a big traveller, and has been all around the world. The first business he started doing was doing non profit work in Uganda. He is a family man. Adopted several children from China, so he's been there. A few times. In total, he has 6 kids - 3 biological and 3 adopted.


He graduated with a finance degree, then taught himself how to code. After having a few engineering jobs, he then started his own businesses. He is a lifelong learner and reads a ton... currently reading former President Obama's latest book. But in fact, he reads all types of books - biographies, tech books, economics... even books about extraterrestrials.


After working for Dell, he grew tired of not moving the needle much, no matter how hard he worked. So he started a company called Nuvola Networks, innovating around e-learning. While doing this, he noticed how manual the flow of information was between antiquated systems for larger companies and enterprises. He thought - why don't we automate this?


This is the creation story of Cloudsnap.
