We've put together an outstanding team and we all truly love what we do. The knowledge and experience that each of us represents would be hugely beneficial to your next project. Take a look around to get a feel for our team and then give us a call. We're here for you.
Gregg is a Hollywood director trapped in the body of a software developer. Although he loves programming he is also passionate about finding new and creative ways to educate using podcasts and screencasts. When he's not thinking up new ideas to take over the world he can be found contributing to the Rails Activist Team, the Orlando Ruby Users Group, BarCamp Orlando, and Ignite Orlando.
Nate is a software developer who likes to focus on large, multi-part systems and APIs. Sometimes we'll find him at his lab station, alone, in the dark, drooling over the documentation for someone's crazy new web service. That, or reconfiguring a web server, or trying to shave 3 more bytes off of a graphic. With a steady diet of coffee and cookies, he can turn out some amazing things.
Tyler is a veteran web developer with a penchant for the Ruby language and frameworks including Ruby on Rails and Merb. He enjoys creating practical, intuitive interfaces with semantic markup, well-crafted JavaScript, and pretty colors. When he's not coding, you'll find him in the kitchen cooking up new recipes and mixing classic cocktails.
Thomas loves to code, especially when he gets to dive into the deep technical details. To him, there is little more fun than a late night spent grokking the algorithms in complex software. In addition to his software development experience, Thomas is a total Linux geek and has several years experience bending servers to his indomitable will.
Jacob was previously trapped as a .NET developer before he was liberated by Envy Labs. These days he spends his time writing beautiful Ruby code and hacking internet telephony applications (a.k.a. Cloud Communication). When his head is not in the clouds he's usually thinking about his next travel adventure.
Mark lives at the intersection where beautiful code meets elegant design. Like many of us he started as a Java Guru, and then graduated to building Ruby on Rails applications a few years ago. When he's not coding, he's trying to teach his son how to code using Basic and Legos.
Caike is passionate about agile development, software craftsmanship, and rocking out on his Guitar. More recently he founded the Orlando Code Dojo, where programmers get together to practice coding to improve their skills once a month. He's also natively from Brazil (and thus available to help with website portuguese translations!).
Eric is a Ruby developer but can sometimes get distracted by shiny things, like node.js or Cocoa Touch. He is excited by finding pragmatic solutions to hard problems, and turning those problems into compelling products. Catch him in a coffee shop and he would be just as willing to engage in a discussion of literary fiction as he would the benefits of TDD.
You say "ActiveRecord plugin", Violette says "improved database design". It's no wonder Violette helps with the communication between developers and clients, she actually knows how to translate what we say into English (and she has a degree to prove it!). You might call her a Project Manager, but we like to think of her as the least disorganized person in the office.
Jennifer pulls people, resources, and information together in creative ways to get the job done and keep our clients happy! She's not just a project manager, but a jack of all trades, and uses her experience to help our company grow.
Chris has seen it all, from Access 97 to Visual Basic 6 to PHP. He's survived some ugly code and has the scars to prove it. When he's not coding you can find him playing starcraft, cooking, drinking wine, or collecting octopuses, but not all at the same time (sorry ladies).
As our resident design lead, Jason works to match Envy's indomitable level of code with great design. Jason is well versed in branding, web, and UI design, and loves to stay active in the design community. He's also a self-proclaimed craft beer snob, and a borderline crazy UNC Tarheel fan.
Nick is a Rails convert-in-training and WordPress aficionado. He splits time between design and front-end development, ensuring a successful bridge to functionality. Pixels and proportions are his leading causes of lost sleep, followed closely by Dr. Pepper intake.
Dray is addicted to learning. He often finds himself digging through Github late at night, searching for some clever technique or pattern that he can use to solve a tough problem. When he's not coding (which is rare) he can be found listening to the Black Keys or catching an Orlando Magic game.
A Seattle native and one of our talented designers, Tim's parents gave him an HTML book in sixth grade. He read it cover to cover, then started making websites for whoever would let him (including his pets). Rarely found without some kind of facial hair, Tim is passionate about every step of the design process. Oh, and he runs marathons
Tony is a web developer for work and for play. He loves simplicity, seeking ways to add value and intention to life, and is passionate about community-focused economic development. When not deep in thought, Tony can be found enjoying music, IPAs, bicycles, collecting records, and hanging out with his new baby boy.
Any day now, you'll know all about Adam, and his pet tortoise.
Despite building websites as far back as 1996, Josh is a fairly recent refugee from Big Cubicle, fleeing to the wonderful world of Rails development. When he’s not learning new ways to do cool things on the web, he’s hanging out with his baby boy, obsessing over sports car racing, or traveling to somewhere with mountains.
Aimee is a developer with a fondness for animated gifs and badly Photoshopped floating heads. When not geeking out over code, she enjoys practicing yoga, sitting in a pile of books, and swooning at cute, cuddly animals. Aimee also runs a blog about healthy living at happymediumblog.com.
Any day now, you'll know all about Matthew, and his pet octopus.
When Drew's not cutting code and pretending to be a developer, he's pushing pixels and tweaking colors to create the perfect design. A diehard Orlando Magic fan and fantasy football fanatic, Drew is also the proud owner of two yellow labs.
Adam is a career student/developer who recently found the wonderful world of Ruby. When he's not working into the wee hours on some form of code, you might find him buried in a new scifi or fantasy novel. He also enjoys long walks in the evenings with his Australian Shepherd Adley.
