## Source excerpt

Hi everyone, We said goodbye to April with a glorious party celebrating Espressif's 10th birthday! Espressif was created on April 29th, 2008. Back then our company was a small Chinese startup fueled with the vision of its CEO and founder, Teo Swee Ann. It soon became apparent that Espressif's field of specialization would be the Internet of Things. Our company evolved significantly in this area, leaving its indelible mark with such popular IoT solutions as ESP8266and ESP32.
