# Founder – Arek Janik

## Story
Years ago I used Gesture Search every day.
Draw a letter, find the person, call.
At some point Google stopped updating it and it wouldn't work on newer phones.
I moved on. I never stopped missing it.
Tried multiple alternatives but none of them did the job.
So I built something inspired by it: Tuhikimi.

## Bio
Arek Janik is a Warsaw-based technologist and the founder of Smarter Lab, a one-person software studio. Tuhikimi is the studio's first app.

## Quotes
"I built it for myself. Then I figured other people might want it too."
"One letter or two. One tap. It's already calling."
