Founder at Happy Puppy Times
Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFinn Thye is a multidisciplinary founder and software developer with nine years of experience building user-focused language technology and consumer services from Denver. She co-founded Off the Wall Language, leading UI development and agile teams to create kid-friendly language-learning apps, and has applied Python and speech-analysis tools to create the first Arapaho text corpus and culturally sensitive language software. Equally comfortable in product, research, and hands-on ops, Finn blends linguistics (MA in Linguistics and Cognitive Science) with full-stack dev skills (Flatiron School) to design interfaces grounded in real-world user testing. As founder of Happy Puppy Times she applies behavioral science to dog-care operations, branding, and team management—an unusual crossover of operant-conditioning methods and startup discipline. A polyglot and community-minded activist, she records and preserves endangered language data while also producing accessible content as a YouTube creator and peer support specialist. Finn’s background reveals a rare combination of field research, UX-driven engineering, and entrepreneurial grit that scales culturally informed tools into products.
