About Wahlu Labs

Founder
Steve Richardson
Steve started as a carpenter, spent time as a structural engineer, and learned to code after work. What began as a hobby became Wahlu Labs.
He has worked under contract with Samsung and People Centric, and with teams from Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. He co-founded Grolia, where he leads the software for Flush.
The approach hasn’t changed: understand how something will be used, then build it properly.
