He was a professional photographer before getting into Open Source Web Solutions. Nowadays, Richard enjoys photography as a hobby and has quite a large Flickr account. He also loves motor sport - you'll never see him when a Formula One race is on!

Senior Developer
Dieter is a senior developer and usability consultant. He has a keen eye for detail and composition, this makes Dieter a great asset when it comes to creating visually appealing designs and working on front-end development.
What he likes most is hiking into stunning landscapes and putting them onto digital film. If you want to look at his work, check his custom Flickr-playground or his regular stream.
Senior Developer
Chris joined the team in January 2010 as a senior developer. The coming year is going to be a very interesting one from a technical development aspect. We have a few large integration projects that are definitely up Chris' street!
Away from the office Chris is an active web standards enthusiast and has also been a volunteer for the Samaritans for over ten years. Chris is a keen inline skater and did a stint as a street performer before becoming a programmer.
Web Designer
Sveta joined us in mid January 2010 and takes care of any administrative tasks in the office. While being incredibly organised and able to multitask, Sveta is shaping up to be a fantastic website designer. You'll be seeing more and more of her work as the year unfolds.
As well as surrealist art she has strong interests in typography and experimental music. She likes to surround her self in antiques and was once an accomplished dressage horse rider.
Business Development Consultant
