Director of Development

After five years at ExpressITech, Stefan was the ideal candidate to be the Director of Development, when the opportunity arose in June, 2009. Stefan had worked as a senior developer and was intimately familiar with the technology and the Revolution reservation system. Stefan has natural leadership skills and the company is pleased to have him in charge of the development team.

Stefan's past roles include Senior Software Developer and company Systems Administrator. Having the dual role drove Stefan to design scalable Internet architectures and to write software that performs well under high load. One of Stefan's crowning achievements has been the development of the Manager interface to the Revolution reservation system.

In his spare time Stefan is an avid photographer, gathering images from travel destinations in Hawaii, California, Germany and the Mediterannean. He can often be found playing the sport he loves, hockey. A recent trip to Philadelphia has allowed Stefan to watch the Flyers carve up the ice. Now that's dedication.

Senior Customer Support

Tom has been doing tech support for over 15-years. He started out trying to make DOS 4 "work better" on his parents XT machine, and subsequently had to learn to rebuild a machine from scratch. Since then, he has built, burned, broken, dismantled, re-built, re-re-built, hacked, slashed, sliced, diced and jullienned every conceivable computer system out there. PCs, PDAs, cellphones, and even built his own (mostly) working Macquarium and a super-cool, stand-up arcade game running MAME. He has learned the machines from the inside out and can fix them the same.

He has studied everything from thermodynamics, to IR-spectroscopy, pottery to watercolours, graphic design and typography and fills in the gaps in between. He is currently working on learning the upcoming HTML 5.0 spec and is actively attempting to lose his hearing at various punk shows in and around the Lower Mainland.
