Our Team
| Dan Coutu | The founder of Snowy Owl has been doing software development for over
twenty five years. His experience covers a broad variety of projects on a variety of operating systems
with business and technical responsibilities including those of the CTO of an e-commerce company.
He has been using the internet since 1981, before it was even known as the internet! One of the
early adopters of the web Dan has developed numerous commercial web sites for companies such as
Digital Equipment Corp., Trade Show Central, and Kodak. He led the team that conducted the internet's
very first commercial videocast (of the first DECUS Convention to have Linus Torvalds speak.)
Dan has become internationally recognized as an expert in e-commerce. His efforts have improved or established the e-commerce capabilities of companies like MyFamily.com, Houghton-Mifflin, Hasbro, Random House, Orange Ltd., Lycos, MacNeil Specialty Products, BankBoston, SureFire Commerce, and over 1100 others. He has worked with businesses spread across the globe including the UK, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Cyprus, Morocco, Australia, and China. Dan's innovative ways of finding out how to make software do what you need when the vendors swear that it can't be done have earned him the gratitude of a large number of businesses. And always his solutions maintain the integrity of the original product so that it is fully supported by the vendor. You won't have to worry about seeing your support contract get voided as you may have experienced with the help provided by others. |

| Ted Roche | The principal of Ted Roche and Associates brings a wealth of experience and expertise with him. His ability to span from software architecture to code development to system administration is outstanding. His knowledge of a wide range of technologies makes him an asset to any project. He brings expertise in PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, and databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Foxpro to your project. |
| Steven Talcott Smith | Steve's expertise in Ruby on Rails allows him to generate complex web sites in short order. He is also an Apple certified iPhone developer ready to help you to craft iPhone applications. |
| Jim Richardson | Jim covers the bases of UNIX and network security, wireless networking, user interface design, training (he's an assistant professor at UMass Lowell), and device handler and driver code. He is a network architect who has seen some unusual requirements and solved them. For example he was asked to come up with a wireless internet connection to the top of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. This mountain has the world's worst weather. The solution had to stand up to winds in excess of 240 MPH (extreme hurricane force winds), temperatures that routinely get to -40 F, and ice buildup on antennas of a couple feet! Despite the difficulty of the challenge Jim designed a solution that has been working for years. |
| Tony DiGregorio | Tony is a UNIX/Linux system administrator extraordinaire. He doesn't just keep the systems running, he makes them better. Tony loves to create new administrative tools and ways to make it easier to run the systems as securely and solidly as possible. He uses Perl and PHP to weave his magic on a wide variety of systems. |
