Jeremy Wynn
Development Partner
Jeremy is a phenomenal programmer. Simply put, he is a “finisher.” We’ve partnered with him on several client websites, as well as some internal projects to improve our own workflow. His super-power is converting our creations into pixel-perfect, cross-browser compatible websites. Not only that, but he always goes above and beyond with amazing Ajax and JavaScript interactions.
When he’s not writing code, he’s playing video games, building computers, and running track.
Matt Higgins
Development Partner
Matt is a guy that thrives on building web apps, luckily we’ve been privileged to work with him on a few. He is mostly a back-end developer, but he’s been known to step up to the plate for front-end HTML/CSS when needed. He won’t admit to it, but he’s also a talented web designer. Matt is always buzzing with great ideas.
When he’s not building web apps, he’s playing guitar, riding his bike, searching for new music, and/or drinking a Shiner.
Chris Everson
Development Partner
Chris is a partner at Primer Grey, a marketing design team and friends of ours here in Houston. We’ve worked with Chris on a number of fairly complex e-commerce solutions for various clients. Chris really knows his stuff when it comes to the intricacies of payment processing, as well as syncing inventory from your point of sales system to your website.
When he’s not writing sexy code for sexy people, he’s writing & recording music and purveying good times.
Aaron Baxter
Development Partner
Aaron Baxter owns Method 21, a Houston-based web design group. His strengths include: design/illustration, search engine optimization/marketing, user interface design, HTML5/CSS3 markup, and custom Wordpress & ModX content management system integration. As a designer/developer, there’s not much Aaron can’t do.
When he’s not designing & programming, he’s photographing people & places, studying typefaces and speaking multiple languages.
Chris Bratlien
Development Partner
Chris Bratlien is a phenomenal programmer. His slogan is "I write code, so you don't have to." We partner with him on some of our web projects. Chris is well-versed in the Wordpress content management system, E-Commerce solutions, PHP, Ajax, and oh so much more. He’s even written a few of his own Wordpress plugins.
When he’s not programming, Chris is playing music and growing quite the ponytail (he does that even while he’s programming).
