About Us

We are Ruby on Rails specialists, and we love it.

TreyBeanPresident, Co-founder

He's been building web apps for more than 10 years, and brings a disciplined approach to every project we undertake. He absolutely doesn’t take shortcuts—whether we’re talking about building a web app or a tarragon soufflé. He’s a mellow Texan who doesn’t talk BS, and is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

Erin ensures that the 12 Spokes commitment to quality is maintained at every level of the company, whether she’s keeping our team happy and motivated, consulting on application design, or vetting new mobile technologies. A former magazine editor, she also makes sure everyone’s commas stay in line.

Ethan lives where the rubber meets the road, turning big ideas into well-tested software. Also our resident volunteer firefighter and EMT as well as vibraphone enthusiast.

DaveDonahueCode Chef

Whether you’re making fresh guacamole or a fresh new web application, this is the guy you want on your team.

His large wingspan also makes him a formidable ping-pong opponent.

After a hard day's work on the Interwebs, Chris unwinds by making questionable music in his garage and perfecting his two-handed ping pong backhand (Dave - you have been warned!).

AdamLeonardCode Ninja

He types an insane 130 words per minute, he used to play video games as a job (no, really), and when he's not writing excellent code, he likes to get out and explore the city.

Everyone is also very jealous that he has a Github octocat mug.

MattBishopCode Alchemist

When he's not suffering from brain freeze from surfing the 48 degree waters of the Pacific Northwest, he's using his recently thawed noggin to try to keep up on the latest tools of the trade. Now as long as he doesn't drip saltwater onto his computer...
