For Brandon Shi, there are few problems in the world that can’t be solved through flawless coding. He loves a challenge and enjoys creating modules suited for a client’s specific needs and goals, no matter how unorthodox or last minute they are.

Brandon studied as an engineer at the University of British Columbia – an education for which he credits his problem-solving skills and love for methodology. Deciding he’d rather build websites than bridges, he launched into web-based application development and has decided to stick around in the world of Drupal.

Brandon’s favourite Drupal module: “Definitely Features. It lets me put otherwise database-centric things to code.”

Brandon when he’s not developing: “When I’m not sticking every last part of a project into GIT versioning control, I can be found snowboarding at Cypress or Whistler, searching for the perfect eatery, cheering for a Canucks goal or struggling for air on a hiking trail.”

As a Project Manager, Derek enjoys working closely with clients to see the big picture and break it down to easily implementable requirements. His ability to analyze problems to determine next steps and accomplish goals has led him to continually optimize processes. Ensuring projects are delivered according to plan and most importantly that everyone has fun doing so. Derek has a mixture of business and technical experience with a commerce degree and four years collective software education. This enables him to smoothly communicate between the worlds of business and technical development so that nothing is lost in translation.

Before joining ImageX Media, Derek managed creative web projects and products for global e-commerce and e-learning companies operating from Canada, China, Japan and Ireland.

Jenny Hols does for us what we do for our clients – she creates success. She’s out there hitting the pavement and spreading the good news of how ImageX Media can take your business or organization to the next level through unparalleled web services. Jenny does what the rest of us regard with fear and trepidation – things like talking to people face-to-face and using more than 140 characters to express an idea – and does so with enthusiasm and panache.

As Junior Web Developer, Johannes’ job is to assist the senior developers as they bring a project from the initial stage to final product. He is usually involved in every stage of the project, building new features, turning the designer’s drawings into functional elements, fixing bugs and whatever else is required to turn out a top-quality site.

Johannes lived most of his life in Germany and completed his Masters in Physics and Astronomy before moving to Canada in 2008. In Europe, he worked with several programming languages and discovered his love for open source, which led him, as all roads eventually do, to the world of Drupal. Johannes lived under Linux for numerous years before he found the right balance in Mac OS X.

As a natural problem solver, he enjoys any form of engineering riddle and takes pride in beautiful and efficient code.

Shea is one of our few team members with the good fortune to be born and raised in Vancouver. He’s fluent in html, php, javascript and actionscript, skills he picked up during his interactive design diploma at Capilano University (where he graduated with distinction with a GPA of 3.91, by the way) and while working as a developer with a Vancouver creative firm. Shea’s work has been featured on the Drupal.com showcase (we’re very proud). He successfully holds down a day job, freelance work and the occasional class to make sure he’s on top of the latest trends. He also drinks a lot of coffee.

When he’s not building websites at work or in his spare time, you can probably find Shea either on the soccer field or on two wheels somewhere on the North Shore. During the winter he trades in his bike for a snowboard and puts fresh tracks all over the local ski mountains.

Shea On Drupal: “Drupal is an amazingly developer and client-friendly content management system.

Tom is the oil that makes the ImageX machinery run smoothly. As our junior project manager, his job is to keep our clients and development team in sync with each other. Also falling on his shoulders is the responsibility to make sure our projects are well-planned, well-documented, on budget and on time. It’s no small task, but Tom is well-prepared for the challenge. He understands the business needs of clients as well as the development side of the project – making him the perfect go-between (and occasional translator).
