Wynn loves the creative side of building software, from brainstorming with clients to designing the solution to executing the idea. The author of two programming books, he has over ten years of web application development experience. With a passion for building great user interfaces, he is a rare programmer that feels equally comfortable in a text editor, a command line shell, or Adobe Photoshop.
Chris is a big picture guy with a “why not” approach to creating software. He constantly pushes the team to the bounds of what is possible to meet the client need. As our customer service leader, Chris makes sure we deliver beyond our customers’ wildest dreams.

Jim has a penchant for numbers. Maybe that’s why he’s a data modeling freak! Seriously, Jim is a SQL madman. With his love for spreadsheets and analysis, we sometimes wonder how Jim missed his calling as an accountant. But we’re certainly glad he did! With an engineering education and real-life experience as a small business owner, Jim has a knack for cutting through the techno babble and laying it out for our clients.
Chris brings his passion for software and new ideas to every project. Having worked on projects ranging in diversity from Artificial Intelligence to Fortune 100 content management systems, Chris has the skills, energy and ideas to help clients of all shapes and sizes. He loves tackling interesting problems and working with smart people. He speaks Java, Ruby, English and Mandarin and usually only needs two of those to solve any problem. From wireframing to modeling to coding, Chris loves helping clients visualize their ideas.
Jason likes to dig stuff up. When presented with a mess of a project, codebase, or situation, he’s likely to just dive in and swim. After ten years of consulting experience, Jason finally decided to make the jump to the fun side of software development. He loves to keep things nice and simple. In fact, his on-the-job M.O. is to get rid of useless code. Jason is obsessed with clean, elegant solutions.
When not managing clients, using his favorite search tools, or cleaning up a messy Rails implementation, Jason can be found hacking away in the kitchen, snapping photos of inanimate objects, or riding a mountain bike on Austin’s Greenbelt.
Born on the bayou and raised on the ranch, Chris’ programming talents span both barbeque and Cajun spicy.
Having spent the entirety of his ten-year career basting his mind in Unix-flavored technologies, Chris is the sole Vim master on staff, unpersuaded by the taste of the Textmate Kool-aid. After finding the perfect pairing of Ruby and Mac OS X, exquisitely complemented by jQuery and a nice Chianti, Chris vowed never again would he write PHP.
Having been harvested from the fields where men were expected to code logic and visual layers, Chris is the other handler of frontend and finishing work.
When not writing bios before lunch time, Chris likes to play basketball and Texas Hold’em poker.
Bradley loves the technical and creative mix of front-end web development. He’s a guy with “big vision” and is not afraid to take your idea to the next level or challenge things from the user’s perspective. Bradley is passionate about bringing clean, usable web sites to the world and works tirelessly to make it happen.
When he’s not busy buffing Squeejee client projects and making them shiny, you can find Bradley working one of his million ideas for the next great web app.
Prior to delving into professional software development Alex managed corporate IT networks of all shapes and size. Early on Alex realized the significance of the software layer and began creating tools to automate routine tasks. A thorough understanding of low level functionality and networking has enabled Alex to develop systems of all sizes and scale, from kernel modules to multi-terabyte reporting systems.
Alex’s web application language of choice is Ruby and he thoroughly enjoys the challenge of developing Ruby-based applications and making them “go fast”.
When he’s not writing software, Alex can be found playing video games, working on cars, and driving too fast. He’s got a knack for figuring out large problems, troubleshooting, and letting loose of his steering wheel to gracefully exit a drift.
