Software Development Team Leader

Rafal reads political and technology blogs, as attentively as, he watches Coen brothers movies. His passions are music and leading software development. He thrives when simultaneously performing seven tasks on thirteen applications. After hearing only a few seconds of music, Rafal’s not so secret talent lies in identifying the artist or composer. He’ll tell you, “The right song can wake me up when I’m feeling sleepy, and the other one can make me sleep when I don’t feel like sleeping.”

Dipti possesses the digital eagle eye, which is the ability to detect a misaligned pixel on a screen from across the room.

Service Manager

Nik garners some peculiar excitement from watching outrageously ugly cars drive around a racetrack through a Belgian forest for 2 hours at 5 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Surprisingly, he has found some equally offbeat friends to join him. Nik could also write a book on the influence of battle armor within the Mandalorian heritage and art forms. But what really gets him going is his passion for helping clients recruit and hire easier.

Internet Enthusiast

Driving across America David saw that 2.3 billion acres is plenty of room for 300 million people to produce. The backbone of his education is Vonnegut’s ‘God Bless You Mr. Rosewater,’ Friedman’s ‘Essays in Positive Economics,’ and ‘Seuss’s ‘One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.’ David searches for new ways to link this place to the next place and that place to the place previous to this place. He promotes Michael Jordan’s competitive spirit, ‘Why Not?’ and walking.
