TJ Szewczak

Senior Developer

Pick any aspect of TJ's colorful personality and you'll soon find an enigma. Sure, he was on the track team, but he also lettered in golf. At age 16 he was playing rhythm guitar in a band, but it was a Big Band playing Glen Miller tunes for cruise ships. Dig into his resume and you'll find his passion for code driven by a love for history and writing, not math and science. You see, enigmas and writing code are the same: a type of riddle expressed in allegorical language. It takes ingenuity and careful thinking to find solutions. This is what keeps TJ glued to his computer, where he writes code like elegant prose: enormously practical, yet poetic in its simplicity. Go figure!

Dennis McMahon

Account Manager

Was it spending his childhood working a dairy farm, or touring Amsterdam's art scene at age 16 that made Dennis the man he is today? Given his rock solid work ethic and his passion for the arts, the answer is both. "Actually, falling off the roof at my construction job inspired me to get my BFA," he says. His experience as a graphic designer and as a manager for a commercial printer make him ideally suited for orchestrating hundreds of moving parts. Having done just about every job in the agency, Dennis appreciates the complexity of producing award-winning work and satisfied clients.
