Hello

About Hand Brewed, LLC.

Hand Brewed, LLC. was founded in Los Angeles in 2005. Its three founders are all senior developers, familiar with the gamut of web development. We work in a distributed environment, but are always willing to meet about a project--online or off.

Founders

Jonathan Haun is HandBrewed's primary business contact, and keeps everything running smoothly. But he's no slacker with web development either, having over 10 years of web development experience. He's helped to plan, implement and maintain websites and web applications for many businesses including American Airlines, Microsoft, Payless Shoes, CampusBooks, Memorex, Spiegel, Coca-Cola as well as many others.

Mike Marsh is HandBrewed's senior web application developer. He is an expert in web development, and master of CSS, JavaScript, Actionscript, PHP and dynamic graphical user interface design. With over 10 years of experience in developing web applications he has the knowledge to bring the most challenging and creative concepts to life, not only on one platform, but accross multiple browsers, operating systems and mobile devices. Mike brings to HandBrewed the experience of having managed multiple development teams for international advertising agencies and fortune 500 companies. Having a BFA in Music Technology from California Instute of the Arts has honed Mike's creative, 'out of the box' thinking skills, and it shows in his work. When he is not playing master of the digital universe Mike is usually found spending time with his beautiful family of five, hiking and snowboarding in the Sierras or playing piano and guitar with local artists.

Kaolin Fire leans towards the server end of things, from database maintenance to algorithmic complexity issues. He is a master of the digital shoestring-and-bubblegum approach to integrating disparate systems that have no interest in speaking with each other. Kaolin has over 10 yrs experience with internet technologies, from PHP, PERL, Python, and Java/JSP to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. He is never not in front of a computer (such accusations are Heresy!), but in addition to web and game development, he also spends his computer time managing and editing a magazine, writing fiction and poetry, and drawing comics and e-book covers. He has a degree in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering from U.C. Berkeley.
