"Every great tech company needs a feline supervisor. Meet ours."
Here at Oregon Coast AI, we like to think we run a pretty tight ship. Our code is clean, our deployments are smooth, and our coffee is always brewing. But if we're being completely honest, there's really only one true executive in charge around here — and she has whiskers, four paws, and an MBA in Demanding Attention.
Meet Samba, our self-appointed Chief Feline Officer, Quality Assurance Manager, and unofficial ruler of all things Oregon Coast AI. She's been with the company since day one, and frankly, we're not sure how we ever got anything done without her expert supervision.
Her Royal Highness: The Queen's Domain
The Art of Supervision
Samba has mastered the ancient feline art of strategic positioning. Whether she's perched atop our bookshelf like a furry gargoyle or claiming the highest spot on our storage unit, she maintains a commanding view of the entire operation.
"From her elevated throne, Samba surveys our coding sessions with the intensity of a ship's captain watching for storms on the horizon."

The Art of Collaborative Coding
The Paw-Programmer
Samba has her own unique approach to coding. Just when you think you've got that perfect function written, she'll gracefully stroll across the keyboard and add her own... creative input.

The Paper Weight
Need to keep important documents secure? Samba has you covered. She has an uncanny ability to identify the exact paper you need to reference and will helpfully anchor it down with her entire body weight.
Document security: 100%
Chief Warmth Management Officer
The Perfect Heating System
Samba has discovered the perfect spot for maximum comfort and maximum work disruption: curled up behind the laptop, directly in front of the screen. It's a win-win situation — she gets the warmth from the machine, and we get a constant reminder that productivity is secondary to feline comfort.
Temperature Control
Optimal laptop heat absorption for maximum coziness
Screen Supervision
Direct oversight of all coding activities
Moral Support
Purr-powered encouragement during tough debugging
Executive Communications
Always Expressing Her Professional Opinion
Samba is very vocal about her thoughts on our work. Whether we're discussing architecture decisions, debating the merits of different frameworks, or just trying to focus during a video call, she always has something important to contribute to the conversation.
Common Samba Feedback:
Always ready with executive input
"Samba has never met a Zoom call she couldn't improve with a well-timed meow or a strategic walk across the keyboard during a screen share."

Part of the Team
Samba isn't just a pet who happens to live where we work — she's a genuine part of the Oregon Coast AI family.
Morning Meetings
Every day starts with Samba's morning briefing (usually involving demands for breakfast and attention).
Late Night Debug Partner
During those inevitable late-night coding sessions, she's always there to provide moral support and lap warmth.
We Love Her So Much
Sure, she might occasionally delete important lines of code with a well-placed paw, and yes, she has an uncanny ability to demand attention at the exact moment when we're in deep focus. But honestly? We can't imagine Oregon Coast AI without her. She brings joy, warmth, and a healthy dose of chaos to our daily routine. She reminds us that sometimes the best debugging happens when you step away from the screen and give a cat some scritches behind the ears.
Long Live the Queen
So here's to Samba — our feline CTO, our keyboard collaborator, our warm laptop guardian, and most importantly, our beloved family member. She's taught us that the best innovations happen not just through code, but through the love and companionship that make our workspace feel like home.
From our coast to yours,
Toni, Ken & Samba 🐾
