Paul has been using computers since his mom sat him in front of a Commodore 64 with a 'Learn to Program' textbook. He's taught PHP, dabbled in Ruby, written a book, and started WonderProxy. His days are occupied trying to talk about "Strategic Vision" with a straight face and building WonderProxy's team and products.
Will has been fixing computers ever since his family first bought one; breaking things is always the best way to learn! He focuses on maintaining WonderNetwork’s collection of servers and dealing with support in different languages of course! You should ask him why Paul isn’t allowed to buy servers anymore. Will enjoys reading, running, and skiing.
As awesome as she is modest, Allison manages WonderNetwork’s books, maintains customer relationships, codes, and writes copy. A bonafide Master of Information (University of Toronto, 2013), Allison is an information architecture-obsessed technical writer at MongoDB, and spends her evenings blogging & knitting up a storm.

Tom likes anything JavaScript-y and working on software people enjoy using. At WonderProxy he works on the WonderSwitcher browser extension and parts of other products. If not coding, he's probably consuming scifi in some form, running/swimming, or gardening. He lives in Bristol (UK) with his wife, kid, snake and two cats.

Raising his two daughters.
The Fashionably Helpful
As a growing operation WonderNetwork frequently leans on friends and colleagues for assistance in various ways — if web development was a party, these would be the people who show up early with extra ice and stay late to help with the dishes!

Avery James Brooks @averybrooks
As fast a developer as he is skilled, Avery has been instrumental in making the various WonderNetwork pages have a cohesive look and feel, and making Paul and Will look good. When not busy working as a Senior Developer for Radical Media in New York City or doing freelance work, Avery writes and plays music. He has fantastic hair, is surprisingly unfindable on the internets, and shares his name with the actor who played Captain Benjamin Sisko in Star Trek DS9. Check out his awesomely mysterious website at averyjamesbrooks.com, and follow his tweets at @averybrooks.
