Kyle Drake

"This man had none of the attributes of the traditional scholar. He was highstrung, unruly, occasionally hard and insolent; he did not fit the image of wise, disciplined men of science. He loved games, the company of women, travels by land and sea; he was a free spirit in an impetuous body. No comparison with the austere scientist, struggling with stubborn mysteries. His discoveries were not the result of long sleepless nights spent in a laboratory, or of complicated scientific demonstrations. He loved life, and could not have borne such restrictions. Instead, his inventions appeared suddenly, out of the blue, a stroke of common sense, or of genius, sometimes during a lively game of billiards, his favorite pastime."

Kenyon Gwillim

I am a developer with 16 years of experience, 13 of those specifically building and deploying websites and web applications. My experience was initially in the auto finance world. I started writing and maintaining windows and DOS applications in C, C++, and Pascal. During that time the company phased out their windows client based software into web based applications. That thrust me into the world of web development and Adobe Coldfusion (then Allaire). I primarily did Coldfusion development for many years and then another technology shift had me change directions and move into .NET development. Occasional forays into the open source world (PHP, Perl, MySQL, Apache) based on client requests. I also had a brief stint as the server administrator in addition to my development duties as small shops often require. I have familiarity with the complete life cycle of website development. From an idea to architecting, coding, QA, deployment and ongoing maintenance. I have worked alongside everyone involved with getting a website off the ground. Creative, Flash/Flex developers, my developer peers, project managers, account executives, directors of technology, as well as the clients themselves. Exposure to tight deadlines, long hours, quick turnarounds (eg fast paced environment) is something I am quite familiar with and willing to do when it is necessary to do a project right, make the deadline, or calm an upset client.

Jeff Schwaber

I thought this was funny when I wrote it, but now I think I was just being contrary: I was born, learned how to walk and talk and, some days, feed myself, and almost lost it all to the mysterious hole of programming. I received a degree that should really have been labeled BS, at least for its initials, and then moved to Portland to pursue I wasn't sure what. Since then I've been (among other things) a system administrator, database munger, and programmer, as well as a mushroom hunter, everything pickler and teacher.

Jeff Mayeur

Moving to pdx in 1999, I met a girl and realized I needed a job. I had no useful skills, so I went to the library, grabbed a book about Cold Fusion. I read the book, and started apply for jobs as a developer. Over the last 13 years I've worked for startups, small companies, mega-companies on technologies ranging from C#, FoxPro, awk, vb6, Pascal, Java, C, Objective C, ending back now at my favorite language JavaScript. In the end, I simply love solving problems, everything else is bonus.
