These principles guide our work

  • Balance - Strive to maintain a healthy work/life balance, with family as the first priority. If one is unhappy at home, one is unlikely to perform well in a professional setting.
  • Efficiency - Perform efficiently.
  • Net Positive - Work for net positive gain in society and the world, as well as reasonable personal economic gain.
  • Sustainability - Incorporate and internalize sustainable practices in all elements of our work.
  • Veracity - Rely on supportable facts, and use skepticism when dealing with biased sources of information.
  • Quality - At all times, pursue excellence; remain willing to admit to and take steps to correct faults.
  • Value - Ensure that our work is consistently valuable to our clients.
  • Innovation - Innovate and support innovation.
  • Good Citizenship - Whenever possible, contribute our customized software back to the open-source community.
