So this is not the standard "we are mighty, hear us roar!" page that you see on most corporate sites because Tabblo is not that kind of company. Yes, we have people with degrees from places like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. We have innovators and patent holders from bellweathers like Digital, Lotus, Amazon.com, and Adobe, folks that have sold their startups to big media companies and managed large and efficient teams. We've got design award winners and published experts, and even the occasional for-fun Ph.D.

But at the end of the day what really matters is the skill, will, and passion of the people that come to work everyday to make Tabblo happen. Given what we do, the following page aims to be more like Sesame Street's "Who are the people in your neighborhood?" and less like credits full of VPs from Central Casting.

Eddie: Thoughtful Hacker

Eddie was the first hacker hired at Tabblo and he was hired for two reasons: he is extremely curious and extremely thoughtful. Once he gets going on a task, he is diligent, dogged, and best of all, extremely thoughtful. You can trust him to solve any problem, and when he is done with it, the only thing left to do is to put a bow on it. During the day, Eddie is hacker-in-charge of all of our home-grown infrastructure components; at night, he takes on various roaming sprints to implement key features and plug critical holes.

Jackie: An Engineer's Designer

Like most great designers, Jackie works largely through instinct combined with hard thinking. Whether it's layout, color schemes, type specs, or general flow, all the critical parts of design come to her naturally. Unlike most great designers, she also excels at explaining her choices, and at putting design decisions in a shared context where people from all parts of Tabblo can meet to discuss, to understand.

Matt: The Fanatic

During his job interview at Tabblo, Matt made the claim that he'd never come across anything on the web that he couldn't implement in a cross-browser way. This brash statement was enough to get him the job, and we spend a good portion of the day trying to prove him wrong. He is quirky (even in his HTML) but he gets it done, never complains about browser compatibility hell, and manages to keep us laughing all the way as he pulls off trick after amazing trick.

Ned: Hacker and Craftsman

If there is one critical thing to be said about Ned, it is that he asks "Why?" too much. Like all excellent and demanding people, he is not one to suffer fools lightly.  He will question things until he is satisfied that he is on the right track. However, he is also driven to get things done, has extremely high standards, and has spent years honing his craft. During the day is our senior application hacker; then at night he manages, mentors, and coaxes the entire engineering team

David: Unafraid to tell it like it is

Having joined the team four months into development, David was not afraid to speak up about the product's shortcomings despite being the new guy (and the dirty looks). As such, he keeps us honest. He is a passionate user of everything that can be hit with a web browser, an avid photo enthusiast, and an unconventional thinker who is charge of net-ops and partner implementations.

Liesel: The Diesel

She takes the flak and still gets it done on time and under budget. As the media landscape transitions into the era of participatory journalism, and marketing channels morph while the demand side learns to supply itself, there is probably no marketing head better suited to keep Tabblo from being the greatest thing no one ever heard about than Liesel.

DCS: The Tireless eye

Dave came to Tabblo because he is as passionate about his tools as he is about the stuff he creates with them. What Dave brings to hacking on the application tier of Tabblo is a real commitment to quality along with the speed of a gazelle. He makes things happen— and quickly. When you are in the business of making stuff that no one has tried before, people like Dave are invaluable.

Plus, he also happens to have a very good eye. Someday Dave's tabblos will grace the halls of museums, both virtual and otherwise.

Dan: A Quality guy

Dan came on board to build a QA process out of nothing for a company that wants to do two releases a day from a growing codebase that is torqued around on an almost daily basis. He is building order out of chaos (which can at times seems like herding cats) while keeping us lean and mean.

As a nice bonus Dan brings a whole load of experience in dealing with online communities and an unfailing honesty in calling anyone out on faulty reasoning.

These are the brightest group of folks I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They've made Tabblo what it is today.
