Blue is our beloved Pawject Manager, always ready to lend a paw and boost team morale. With a keen sense for good vibes, he keeps a close eye on the team (especially if snacks are involved). When he’s not supervising operations from his favorite sunny spot, you’ll find him chasing tennis balls, collecting belly rubs, or making surprise appearances during meetings—purely for quality control, of course.
