Extremely disciplined and task oriented, John describes himself as a production machine. Good luck getting his attention when he’s got his headphones on and he’s locked into the task at hand. His great passion is combining his design and programming talents and turning out good, solid work. He loves all aspects of web design: interfacing with clients, strategic development (project road maps), managing content… and on top of all that, he’s somehow found the time to write a veritable library of tools for the company. During his tenure here, John has played a key role not only in Pelago’s own inhouse applications but also as an advocate in Open Source and Web App communities. John is the lead developer for Intervals, a web-based project management service focused on task and time tracking.
