Djun Kim, President
Djun's expertise extends from open-source software tools to agile project management methodologies, from computational linguistics to discrete mathematics, from theoretical issues of language design to the practical realities of delivering high quality, high value solutions.
Djun started programming (at the age of nine) in the early 1970s on a PDP-8 machine running one of the first several dozen UNIX systems in existence. He studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of British Columbia and at U.C. Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from UBC in 1999.
Scott Akenhead
Scott calls upon 25 years of introducing new technology to a wide variety of clients, to improve communications between software developers and end-users. His training is whole-systems ecological modeling (UBC 1968-75, Dalhousie 1983-90) involving hydrology, biology, numerical analysis, and statistics. He is an accomplished leader of small, innovative teams that solve problems by applying state-of-the-art technology. These projects often created competing scenarios of the future (spatial decision support systems). In conjunction with his ecological training, these whole-systems scenarios have led Scott to become an advocate and strategist for sustainability.
Not to be outdone by his friend Djun, Scott claims he wrote a transactional database in APL using ISAM files under IBM System 360 JCL in 1975 (for an international fisheries commission). Work since then includes landscape simulations, GIS/GPS/RS developments, and natural/urban resource managment models. This foundation of analytical experience means that Scott is a valuable asset in strategy and vision workshops, and as a technical/political liaison.
