A Letter from our CEO

Hi there! I'm Joel Thomas, Founder and CEO.

My journey began in Oklahoma City, where I launched my freelance career in website design and software development. This early experience laid the foundation for my passion for creating digital solutions that make a real impact. It was during this time that I founded my first app development company, JTLogic, which gave me invaluable insights into the world of technology and entrepreneurship.

As a founding member of Land Information Services (LandVantage), I had the opportunity to deliver innovative solutions to the oil and gas industry. This experience expanded my vision for what technology could achieve and reinforced my belief in the power of innovation to transform industries. Working in this sector taught me the importance of understanding complex business needs and delivering solutions that truly matter.

The establishment of Yolk Labs in Seattle marked a new chapter in my journey. Driven by new opportunities and a desire for fresh perspectives, I set out to create a company that would merge creativity and technical excellence to deliver innovative digital solutions. Seattle's vibrant tech ecosystem provided the perfect environment for this vision to flourish.

At Yolk Labs, we bring over a decade of expertise in cloud-based technologies and digital strategy. Our mission goes beyond just building software—we believe in using technology to amplify meaningful human connections and enrich lives. Every project we undertake is guided by this principle, ensuring that our solutions not only meet technical requirements but also create genuine value for the people who use them.

Let's innovate together; I look forward to connecting with you!
