Jon Badgett
Jon is a passionate developer who enjoys refining the developer experience. He currently leads a software development department at an international chemical company.
If it’s technical, .NET or web related (especially TypeScript + React), or tastes good - Jon’s probably interested. An “optimistic pragmatist”, Jon’s goal is to love what he does and have those who work alongside him do the same.
Joseph Reynolds
Joseph earned his Master of Science in Information Technology, with a focus in Software Architecture from Capella University in 2009.
With a Bachelor in Psychology, a Master’s in IT, and graduate work in Technical Communications, Joe offers a unique variety of C# and app development expertise. He is an organizer and bio at Houston area .NET user groups, blogs at InfoCraft, and is a member of the Lonestar College IT Advisory Board. When not working in the office or at home, he can generally be found at St Jonah Orthodox Church, or rolling dice with his various gaming friends.
Gary DeReese
Gary is a software craftsman at his core. He has served in both technical and management leadership roles, and calls upon deep architecture and development experience from a wide array of industries. He is also a passionate DevOps advocate committed to maximizing the effectiveness of the organization through the relentless pursuit of improvement.
At home, he enjoys spending time with his family, working on personal software projects, playing guitar, and tinkering with all kinds of Arduino and FPGA gadgets.
Arun Sajjan
Arun is passionate about building software and adding business value. He enjoys the journey - leading, learning and solving problems in optimal ways within given constraints and resources.
