PICnetters

PICnetters are our heart and soul. Without these brightest minds and passionate supporters of the public sector, PICnet would be only a fraction of what it is today.  It's a little known fact that "PICnetter" comes from the latin root "pic-" which when translated into modern English means "brightest Web development minds alive".

Mark Harvey
Developer
Mark Harvey

After coming aboard from a non-profit in May 2007, Mark immediately found his way to the programmer's cave, where he now tirelessly codes his days away.  While he has always had a passion for technology, recent years have focused him on the non-profit sector. When he found PICnet and its mission, the overcast sky immediately cleared and a voice called out to him "If you code it, they will come." It was a sign.

Project Manager

At PICnet, Jeremy helps clients get the websites they want, interfacing with those crazy programmers we keep locked up in the PICnet basement and translating what they have to say into human-readable language.
