Evin "Sensei" likes to think of himself as a Martial Technologist, stemming from a lifelong, accomplished career in both communications technologies and teaching niche Martial Arts skills to the many formal disciplines that exist today.
Because of his "martial" mindset, he enjoys and excels at disrupting traditional thought processes and methodologies.
Evin loves more than all to spend time with his wife and raising his three sons. Evin's favorite quotes are "Don't complicate an anvil" and "What we're building is infinitely scalable!"
Murphy is a serial technologist. He started his career at NASA at the ripe old age of 20 (not nearly as cool as it sounds) where he started slinging code and building bleeding edge systems.
Since then he has spent his career on a mission to solve as many problems as possible with technology.
When he's not writing code, wrangling other technologists, or working on designing the next kick ass system, he spends his time reading, raising his two kids and generally annoying his wife.
Having survived several small start-ups and his own consulting firm, Eric enjoys sitting in a dark cave, designing and writing frighteningly complex code.

As an industry veteran who has tamed web-based user interfaces since the blink tag's inception, Matthew now espouses open source tools, object-oriented javascript, and html5.

After a career spent within a mix of large and small companies, he's finally found a place where the work is as exciting as it is challenging.
At Shango, Lloyd handles building out and contributing to Shango's many interesting ideas.
Back at home, he can be found hanging out with his wife, and trying to muster up the energy to work out.
Working at Shango since its inception, Lisa has seen a lot of action as the company has grown. With over 13 years experience in telecom accounting - you'd be surprised to know she always has a bright smile on her face. Not only the glue of our financial department, she has brought innovation to our corporate billing system and manages Shango shenanigans in Human Resources.
When she's not bean counting, Lisa loves spending time with her three rescue pit bulls and riding her sport bike in the Texas hill country.
As the company's head of Operations, Scott rarely gets any sleep and doesn't know what a vacation is. With all of this time on his hands he spends most of it working side by side with his A-team of Operations professionals, continuously improving the company's products, services and service delivery platform. There's never been a dull moment in his 20+ year stint in technology and telecommunications, and he claims he's 'never met a customer he didn't like'.
As a kid, Scott always wanted to grow up and be in Operations.
As the man in charge ringing the cash register at Shango, he was born to sell....making his first deal at the age of 4 by selling his matchbox car collection to a naive preschooler. Having nearly 18 years of telecom experience, he revels in the art of the deal, the satisfaction of a job well done, a long list of happy customers he likes to call friends... and most importantly loves his "motivated" sales team due to large mortgages and overpriced sports cars.
Everyone calls him "GRIFF," and when not selling, he loves sports, all outdoor activities and being with his kids.
Trained in the persuasive arts, he's a 20 year telecom and internet veteran. He has worked with startups as well as large carriers to bring in latest in technology to market.
"Look beyond the hype, look for ways to combine good business rules with quality technology and you have the recipe for a successful deployment."

Warning: do not ask about kettlebells or watches unless you really want to know.
As the BOSS of B/OSS with 20 years of telecom experience, Tim is always looking to challenge the status quo and change the paradigm. His 15 years of problem solving and deal making in the Telco software solution domain has taken him from the ivory towers of the largest service providers to some of the most remote providers around the country. Having an appreciation for the complexity of our industry regardless of size, Tim strives to simplify a steady diet of acronym soups to solve the issue at hand.
When not contemplating ways to make our clients successful, Tim is unplugged and off-the-grid enjoying the outdoors on a snowboard, ATV or mountain bike because he just can’t sit still.
Join a dynamic, fast growing, entrepreneural-driven organization in the telecom industry.
