Start the Conversation

Rather than introduce you to all of our available people (there’s a bunch of them), here are a handful of people you will likely meet first when you start a conversation with us (in order of appearance):

Adam Blanken – DevOps, IT ops (“Call of Duty: Black Ops” and anything else with the word “ops”)
Deane Sloan – CTO, dev manager, design thinker, start-up growth hacker from way back (okay, “way way back”)
Cam Shotter – Crackerjack Agile, mobile and web dev (but ordinary pool player)
Jack Gammon – Machine learning and hard stuff dev (N.B. not the hugging type)
Andrea Bonora – Talent spotter, capability developer and people whiz (code names: “the extrovert”, “the life of the party”).
