Haim Schoppik

Haim Schoppik was the third technical co-founder who worked alongside Chris Maguire to code Etsy's original platform. He focused on frontend development and user experience. Like Maguire, he left in August 2008 frustrated with Kalin's management style. He later joined Maguire at Waffl as CTO.

Haim Schoppik was a web developer who met Robert Kalin through GetCrafty.com. He left NYU before graduating to build Etsy full-time. Along with Chris Maguire, he handled the software development and technical infrastructure while Kalin focused on vision and community. Schoppik and Maguire's departure in August 2008 marked the end of the original technical team. In their farewell blog post, they wrote: 'The last three years have undoubtedly been the longest and most eventful of our lives. We'd like to thank each and every one of you for enabling us to build Etsy into what it is today.' After Etsy, he joined Waffl as CTO.
