Our Team

Meet the people who bring you Zotonic.

The team behind Zotonic is experienced and inspired.

We have a software architect with more than 25 years of software experience.

A front-ender who knows every trick in the HTML, Javascript and CSS books.

A software engineer who knows everything from the bits and bytes of the machine to the clouds in the sky for the bird eye view.

A media expert with experience in almost every form of media publishing and web site coding.

And last, but not least, we are actively supported by the cool design firm Mannschaft.

  • Marc Worrell

    Lead architect of Zotonic.

    Marc runs his own software firm in Amsterdam. Before starting his current company he was the CTO and owner of Mediamatic Lab. At Mediamatic he was the architect and the lead developer of the information management system anyMeta. Which is in use for around fifty web sites.

    Before Mediamatic Marc worked on media management solutions with Oracle, Sybase and Verity. He also made assembler generators and compilers for embedded systems.

  • Tim Benniks

    Front-end engineer, interface designer and one of the principal authors of Zotonic.

    Tim Benniks mainly develops websites and easy interfaces to give applications a gentle face. His interests go out to solid (and semantic) html, interaction design for javascript generated dynamic pages and typography.

    He runs a small creative design bureau in Amsterdam. With passion for detail and a well guided process he builds simple and elegant interfaces. It does not matter if you have a small company website or a huge online application, an interface has to be constructed with care. An interface has to feel and act like a well tailored suit. There is no such thing as "one size fits all".

    With the latter in mind, he designed and built the Zotonic admin area.

  • Arjan Scherpenisse

    Core developer

    Arjan is an experienced software developer, with a strong interest in the web and scalable systems. In the Zotonic project, he's responsible for core Zotonic components like the services API and its OAuth layer.

    Besides Zotonic, Arjan works as a new media artist and researcher in the field of free software and open hardware.

  • Peet Sneekes

    Was the first to run Zotonic on FreeBSD. Otherwise dedicating his spare time to moving media content, inspiration and general distrac ... he, look at that!

    Peet is just this guy, you know. Seriously: he's former programmer with a passion for media, mainly helping this product out with bad puns and screencasts.
