In 2006, Hasan Ahmad was working at TMI software in Ft. Worth, Texas. Hasan met Glenn Turner when Glenn’s company, FireStream WorldWide, acquired TMI. Glenn and Hasan worked together for the next 13 years creating software for the convenience store industry.
Hasan and his team developed pricebook software, back office accounting software, a program for Western Union to manage money orders, web based dispatching and inventory management software just to name some of their areas of expertise.
In 2013, Hasan and his family moved from Ft. Worth to St. Louis, Missouri so that Hasan could take on a larger role in managing software development at FireStream. In 2017 FireStream was acquired by PDI Software. Hasan and Glenn continued to work for PDI until September 2019.
In December 2019, Hasan started Pale Blue Software as a “Software Development as a Service” company. Around the same time, Glenn started Romeo Bravo Software (RBS). RBS became Pale Blue Software’s first customer and began developing Yellowstone, a web based property management and ERP system for hunting and fishing lodges, dude ranches and shooting clubs.
Unexpectedly, Hasan died of a heart attack in June 2022 at the age of 48. He is survived by his wife Pinky and their 4 children. Shortly after Hasan’s death, Pinky asked Glenn to manage the company for Pale Blue Software’s customers and 27 employees.
