Paul Quintal is the Principal of Client Solutions at BairesDev.

Working for information technology companies his entire career, Paul has seen hundreds of projects falter or fail because of one problem: too many software development projects and too few resources. CTOs, CFOs and CIOs can't staff up with FTEs for projects only to de employ those teams at project completion. He's working with BairesDev to solve this problem for mid-market and Fortune 500 companies. BairesDev exists to provide tailored software solutions, AI development, and end to end technical outsourcing to clients that include Adobe, Google Johnson & Johnson,  BBVA and Rolls-Royce.  

Neeraj is the Founder of RoadToEV, a platform focused on improving access to EV charging.
The idea came from his own experience as an EV owner. Charging is still something you have to think about constantly, where to go, whether a charger will be available, how long it will take. In colder climates, those challenges become even more noticeable.
RoadToEV is built around a simple observation. Many home chargers sit unused for most of the day, while drivers continue to depend on a limited number of public options. The goal is to make better use of existing infrastructure by connecting private and public charging in a more practical way.
Neeraj's background is in software architecture, and he approaches this space from a systems perspective. The focus is on solving real problems, building something that works in everyday conditions, and improving it
over time based on how people actually use it.
The platform is live across the U.S. and Canada and continues to evolve as the market grows.
