Charles Stacy Harris III
Charles Stacy Harris III is a Technology Architect withthe Microsoft Technology
Center in Southfield, MI. Stacy has been part of Microsoft's field services organization
since 1992. In that time he has developed a wide range of software including device
drivers for custom hardware, customer service applications, e-commerce web sites,
prototypes for advanced aircraft instrumentation and was even on loan to the Microsoft
Cluster Server development team for a short time. Stacy has a degree in theoretical
mathematics and is entirely self-taught in software development. His first programming
was at the age of 12 when his father bought him a book on 8080 and Z-80 assembly
language, but because his family couldn't afford a computer, he wrote all of his
code on paper and ran it in his imagination. Shortly after that he moved to a 6502
CPU on a KIM-1 microcomputer kit that belonged to his best friend's dad. Here he
learned to key in hex op-codes directly into memory and had his first true introduction
to debugging. To wind down from long days of software design and development, Stacy
enjoys spending as much time as possible with his family. He also enjoys photography,
bicycling, studying French and Italian, and of course writing more code!

Brian Korzynski
My name is Brian Korzynski, I started programming back in high school which led
me to study programming in college. During college my favorite hobby was to take
mathematical concepts and replicate them in programming. Rather it was calculating
the first 200 lines of Pascal’s triangle, or the first 10,000 Fibonacci numbers,
I was always looking to challenge myself. I graduated in 2008 from Central Michigan
University with a Bachelors of Science in the following fields: Computer Science,
Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics. From there I started
programming in Visual Basic for Windows Forms, with my new job as Software Apprentice
at The Epitec Group, I am learning how to create world class websites. I am always
looking to learn new things.

Jay R. Wren
I have been writing custom software solutions for integrating Windows and Unix since
1998. My blend of traditional system administration and custom software solutions
has allowed numerous enterprises to transcend platform dependence. Some of my software
is still in use at a state university in Michigan.
Recently I have written software to manage specific applications deployed across
hundreds of Unix servers and thousands of Windows servers remotely via a Web Management
Interface. The system works without an agent utilizing standard Unix remote management
protocols such as SSH.
Currently I am an independent contractor working on WPF and Windows Forms applications.
I spend my free time writing more software, baking, playing StarCraft and watching
far too much television.
