the kosada design.development.consulting team
Our small but dedicated team are software and database developers, graphic and web designers, server and security administrators, and customer care and support providers.
Steve Mokris is somewhat of a renaissance geek who dips his fingers into fields ranging from low-level DSP programming to typographical-obsession over the lowercase letter “g”. At Kosada, Steve handles basic issues of keeping the ship afloat, painting the decks, manufacturing the sails, as well as occasionally issuing vague navigational imperatives. He also does most of the TWiki and Quartz Composer custom software development, database security server administration, as well as helping with Drupal module development and website planning.
Matt Radcliffe is a software and systems analyst with experience providing custom solutions including training and support for small to medium businesses from coast to coast. He has worked in the healthcare, insurance, finance, and manufacturing industries understanding business processes that get to the bottom-line — increasing revenue. Additionally, he has collaborated with Kosada on web-based projects, software development, process planning, and IT grunt work.
Originally from San Francisco, CA, Matt received a Bachelor's degree from Denison University in 2004 and speaks Japanese. He is knowledgeable in a variety of programming languages including PHP, PERL, and C, as well as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Open Systems Accounting Software, and Crystal Reports.
He is also experienced with module development for Drupal 4.7, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x.
Chris was with Kosada since the beginning, having first worked with Steve in 1998 to develop a custom operating system. After a brief fling with DeVry, he spent 2 years doing missionary work in Utah. He returned in February 2007, bringing (back) his experience with C, C++, PHP, various Unix hackeries, and many other development tools. From 2007 until 2010 he contributed to popular programs such as Firefox and Thunderbird to better mold them to the needs of individual clients. He's also been on the front lines of some of our exciting work with Quartz Composer. As of Monday, Jan 31st 2010, he is on to greener pastures in Cupertino, where he has been recruited by Apple to work on the official side of Quartz Composer. We'll be watching for you on the Quartz Composer mailing list, buddy.
Bradley Mellen has recently attained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the Ohio State University, as well as being a talented performing bassist and cellist, and active member of Kosada's development team. He has worked on such customizations for Drupal websites as the Role Referral Drupal module.
