Garrett was the first employee hired at Brain Murmurs. He is a brilliant developer and a priceless asset for this company. Garrett is valued not only by us, but our customers, who have often expressed great relief at the knowledge that he would be helping them out with their challenges.
Mr. Kelly is an accomplished Java developer and user interface developer. He is an expert on Twisted Pair's Dispatch Communicator and WAVE SDK. Garrett's successes have moved him up from development and testing to architecture, project management, documentation, hiring, client relations, and formal bidding on contracts.
Garrett holds a bachelor's degree from Humboldt State University.
Garret has an impressive ability to quickly assess a new technology and start working with it.
Originally hired as an intern to help out making simple bug fixes and testing the software that we develop for our clients, Mr. Cole is now the lead engineer on Quickshow, a distributed Shockwave Flash authoring tool developed by our company for Open The Door Media. Garret is an aggressive problem solver and elemental force in terms of productivity, easily finishing tasks within hours that would take a group of regular developers days to complete.
Mr. Cole has done considerable Windows development work on our SIP-related contracts and is a contributer to the Pulse BlackBerry Dialup Network Service.
Beyond being highly intelligent, Garret is creative and diligent in his endeavors. Of our staff, he is one of the cleverest and most dedicated team members, as well as one of the most personable.

Another one of our newer team members, Gabriel has demonstrated a intuitive capacity for software development and a technical brilliance that belies his status as a junior developer. As can be gleaned from the bass guitar behind him he is also a working musician, which has made him an invaluable advocate for the musician's perspective on things during the development of IMP.
Gabe has also been actively involved in promoting IMP and represented us at the 2007 SXSW conference
