We really like the internet. A lot.
Integrum is a close-knit, experienced, internet-savvy group that makes web applications emphasizing business value, community, user-experience satisfaction and standards via the latest technologies. We build for the internet because we like to and because we are good at it, it's that simple.
The Integrum Team
Jade
Jade founded Integrum in 2005 based on his previous success using technology to quickly solve tough business problems. He believes in building great teams and empowering them to succeed. He is an avid reader, Nintendo fanatic, family man, musician, and all around nice guy.
Derek
Derek loves soccer. Thankfully, his teams always lose, so we don't have to hear about it much. He brings an amazing ability to solve problems to the Integrum team, able to look at a situation and almost immediately understand what needs to happen in order to make it fly.
Heidmo
Perpetually clad in flipflops, Matt graduated with a Computer Information Systems degree from Arizona State University before joining Integrum's merry band. With a background in Agile methods and a solid talent for making weird noises, Matt is always producing code and laughs.
Irish
Irish majored in Computer Science at Arizona State University once they refused repeated attempts to major in World of Warcraft. As Integrum's longest tenured employee Irish and his prehistoric stash of Dark Chocolate Raisins have written many lines of code. Unfortunately we're not sure how much was written by Irish and how much by the Raisins.
Lindsay
Lindsay holds a Computer Science degree from Stonehill College and the record for most baked goods brought into an office in any given month. A talented developer, Lindsay is also the only person to move to Arizona but not like Mexican food.
Young
Chris is a recovering Microsoft programmer, but is at least 3 or 4 steps down the road to being able to live without the big MS. As the newest member of Integrum's development team, the urge to write just "the new guy" in this space had to be beaten down with a stick, but there's really not much more to put here. Someone has to write all this drivel anyway, it doesn't just grow on trees ya know.
Curtis
Curtis moved from Colorado for the opportunity to work with Integrum's development team, or so he says. We think he just got tired of shoveling four feet of snow every morning. Nevertheless, Curtis is an enthusiastic developer who is always looking for a project to contribute to. His lateral thinking finds ways around roadblocks that the rest of us just shake our heads at.
Gist
After earning his design degree on the East Coast, Matt brought some much needed "prettying up" to Integrum's projects. Matt's skills with design and user interface are an integral part to how Integrum does business. When he's not sketching stuff up he's signing up for the newest social networking site (that he'll never use again) or taking pictures for our Flickr stream.
Curtis M
Curtis joined the Integrum team in January '08 when he fell in love with us after acting as a contractor for 4 months. He holds a BS from University of Arizona and a MS from Cal State - both of those in Computer Science. So he's smart; and we like him hanging around.
Dana
Dana is currently a sophomore at Northern Arizona University studying English and philosophy, ultimately destroying the idea that she would follow her parents into the "exciting field of engineering". She writes short stories and poetry, and frequents poetry slams in Tempe and Phoenix. If she's feeling saucy, she performs. She can also do a Rubik's Cube in two minutes!
Don't trust this guy. Seriously. I mean, look at him.
Steven
Seeking an escape from government contracts, red tape, and repetitively pointless paperwork, Steven came to Integrum with a strong background in open source technologies and languages such as PHP, MySQL, Plone, Zope, and Python. With a Masters in Information Technology and the constant desire to improve his skill set Steven sought out Integrum for its agile methodology and use of the renowned Ruby on Rails framework. If he's not programming you'll probably find Steven at the nearest snowboard resort with snow.
Jason
"The New Guy" - originally schooled in design from The University of Arizona, Jason now implements the "prettying up" with mad HTML and CSS skills. Front end development is a passion of his as he always tries to find new and exciting ways of doing things.
