Bill Bither, General Manager 
Little known fact: before founding Atalasoft with no outside funding, Bill was the youngest mayor of Steeletown, New York. After bankrupting the city by holding what he called “The World’s First Ice Cream Swim Race,” he was a mechanical engineer at Hamilton Sundstrand. Following his failed side project code-named “Craptacular Carburetors,” Bill finally found success with Atalasoft’s .NET imaging toolkits. He was awarded Business West’s 40 under 40 as one of the top business leaders in Massachusetts and continues to help other founders fail miserably at their business ventures. He’s a competitive runner, cyclist, and cross country skier, and managed to lose his laptop only once in the last 3 years.
Lou Franco, VP Product Strategy, Developer Tools 
The acronym “W.W.L.D” (What Would Lou Do) has been in use at Atalasoft since 2006. A beacon of rationality and logic, Lou is responsible for toolkit product development and overall company strategy. He’s also a whiz at comedy sketch retention, and can recount verbatim various scenes from Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock, or Arrested Development. Lou is a local community leader with various board positions and is currently writing a book on iPhone application development (Hello! iPhone) due later this year.
Steve Hawley, Chief Architect
Steve has been with Atalasoft since 2005. Not only is he responsible for the architecture and development of DotImage, he is one of the masterminds behind Bacon Day. The only employee with a working stoplight in his office, Steve has over 20 years of experience with companies like Bell Communications Research, Adobe Systems, Newfire, Presto Technologies. He has several patents under his belt and fears that his son Stuart will one day take over the world, leaving a smoking trail of ruin behind him.
Rick Goudey, Sr. Sales Account Executive
Rick Goudey joined Atalasoft in 1928, bringing his knowledge and skills learned from Henry Ford to propel Atalasoft’s sales team to infinity and beyond. As the senior sales executive, he cracks the wet noodle daily over his subordinates, hoping that one day they will learn the skills he acquired from such universities as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Stanford, and anywhere else he could break into. His discipline, as well as his belief he can fly off roofs, were acquired after years in the Army Air Corps, er, United States Air Force.
Brendan Day, Sr. Sales Account Executive
Brendan joined Atalasoft in 2010 to help lead and grow the Atalasoft Sales team. He brings 15 years of software sales experience to Atalasoft, 7 of which are in the imaging toolkit space. As a Senior Sales Executive, Brendan’s primary goal is to keep Rick from falling asleep. Brendan is the proud father of two and is very happy that his beautiful wife keeps him around. Brendan served as a member of the Board of Directors for Sutton Youth Soccer, enjoys coaching youth soccer, and running 5K and 10K road races.
Marco Voegele, Sr. Sales Account Executive, EMEA
Marco: the man, the myth, the legend. Marco was recently released by a German psychiatric hospital after an unfortunate umlaut mix-up. He’s now opted for a quieter life: decorating his home with IKEA furnishings, selling DotImage to our overseas customers, traveling the Autobahn only by unicycle, and secretly plotting the demise of the Marco/Polo game.
Joann Przewoznik, Customer Relationship Manager
Joann has been with Atalasoft for nearly three years. She currently holds the position of Customer Relationship Manager (the 4th title change in the last two years, and a new one on the horizon to be sure). She works with the Sales team to manage relationships with our customers, continues to improve the sales processes, and manages the maintenance process. She attained a BS in Marketing at Western New England College. Away from the office, you can most likely find her at home, MacGyvering up a new gadget of sorts, spiking volleyballs, snowboarding, and hopefully snowshoeing (if she gets a pair for Christmas).
Kevin Hanks, Sales Administrator
After making his Broadway debut in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and winning a Tony award for ‘Under the Rainbow’, Kevin Hanks decided to retire from the stage in 2010 for a quiet life as the Sales Administrator and the entire Accounts Receivable department for Atalasoft. When he’s not making another Ewok movie for George Lucas, he can be found fixing the company bicycles or going to Colin Hay concerts with his babe.
Eric Deutchman, Marketing Manager
Eric is the DotImage toolkit marketing wizard and takes care of some of the public-facing aspects of the company like website content, our newsletter, ad direction, and our Twitter and Facebook pages. He is an Inbound Marketing Certified Professional; he's not really sure what it means. He got a certificate though, so he wins! Eric's horribly obsessed with his car, and has multiple versions of it rolling around on his desk. At one point, he and Christina shared an office; on Fridays they regaled the office with sock puppet theatre acting out recent Internet memes (including the award-winning "Imma let you finish.") Eric's been with Atalasoft since 2007. That was last decade!
Christina Gay, Director, Ministry of Culture
Christina is the Liz Lemon to Bill’s Jack Donaghy. Despite the fact that Bill has never bow-hunted polar bears or practiced martial arts under Chuck Norris, Liz is still Christina’s management spirit animal. When she’s not swearing loudly and drawing diagrams about how dishes are put in the dishwasher (NOT IN THE SINK), she’s our HR Director, cheerleader, passive aggressive mother and moral compass, able to quell inappropriate thoughts with a single glance. She began in May 2008 by plying us with copious amounts of candy and we’ve hated her for it since.
David Cilley, Senior Web Architect
In 2002, before the lone Bill Bither decided to double his workforce, David pushed pixels for Atalasoft's logos, ads, and website. Shortly after starting in early 2003, David realized that pushing pixels around wasn't nearly difficult enough, and started to work on cross browser imaging controls. Now with a total of 14 years experience in web development, he continues work on these controls and spends most of his day cursing at any given browser. To unwind from the browser world, David can be found running on the local bike path, training for his next marathon and being expressive with just his eyebrows.
Spike McLarty, Senior Software Architect
Spike joined Atalasoft at the start of 2011, fresh from a decade running his (one person) company Dosadi, creating tools for TWAIN scanning and image processing, and writing the odd TWAIN driver. Before that, Spike climbed the technical ladder at Logitech for about 14 years, building compilers, image editors, TWAIN drivers, and a variety of applications. It adds up to about 20 years of Windows development experience. Spike has a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford, but don’t ask him to design anything electrical, as it will melt or explode. Unless that’s what you want.
Adam Scarborough, Software Architect
Sometimes tester, occasional developer. Math-y & Statistic-y.
Ken Walpurgis, Operations Manager
Ken joined Atalasoft in 2007. He is the main developer responsible for Atalasoft's website and internal systems. Ken started web development with Cold Fusion back in the 90's and made the transition to Java and .NET. Ken can pretty much do anything, rarely complains, and often brings in copious amounts of muffins, leading several employees to refer to him as a "freaking magician." He holds a BS in Computer Science from Westfield State.
Kevin Hulse, Software Engineer
Kevin joined Atalasoft in 2008 as a Developer Support Engineer. He has since taken his knowledge of customer issues over to the toolkit development side of Engineering. He can also be found organizing, captaining, and playing softball for the Atalasoft Docubot Squad. Of the two Kevins in our office, he is referred to as "Tall Kevin," due to his 1/4" height advantage. He holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts.
Jake Mitchell, Software Engineer
Somehow thinking he had enough time, Jake Mitchell joined Atalasoft as an intern during his final semester at UMass Amherst in early 2010. He emerged victorious with a BS in Computer Science and a great start to his career as a full-time Developer Support Engineer. Sometimes his coworkers are surprised that he still hasn't played D&D and doesn't recognize all the latest internet memes, but they've been gradually easing him into that world.
Adam Daniell, Developer Support Engineer
Adam, a graduate from the University of Massachusetts, joined the Atalasoft team in 2010. He is responsible for helping to provide the frontline support available to our customers, through our forums, portal and over the phone. Adam holds a BS in Computer Systems Engineering. His son, Miles, has THE CUTEST CHEEKS EVER.
Robin Sale, Developer Support Engineer
One of the following things could be true about Robin: she will regularly wear pirate garb on any given day, she owns a custom Mini-Cooper, she named her bamboo plant Fluffy, she goes out into the woods on a regular basis and hits other people with sticks, or she bleeds pure caffeine. Or they could ALL be true. The verdict is still out. In any case, she’s passionate about supporting our customers and that’s all that matters.
Julia Burch, Software Engineer
Julia started with Atalasoft as an intern in 2009. If Atalasoft has a hazing procedure, Julia has been through it. She has been pelted with foam slingshots, screaming monkeys, and surprise foam battle-axe blitzes, sleepily trying to defend herself between squashing bugs and her rigorous courses at Smith College. After her triumphant return from a year in Japan, Julia resumed her position as catcher on the Atalasoft Docubot Squad. Despite our well-meaning beat-downs, Julia accepted a full-time job with Atalasoft starting in May 2011, successfully shifting the balance of female power in the office.
Justin Aquadro, Software Engineer
Coke or Pepsi? Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese? DO NOT ASK JUSTIN THESE QUERIES. The pressure will get to him and his brain will implode. Justin has a Master's Degree in Computer Science from UMass and was the first employee hired through Atalasoft's "Let's Buy UMass Students Pizza and Wings and Give Them Free Stuff" program.
Elaine Gorham, Training & Support Manager
Elaine Gorham is the Training & Support Manager for Atalasoft. Her background in development started with Byte magazine and Basic in 1982 on an Atari 800, plus copying (to his displeasure) anything her big brother could do, and taking apart his Lego cars. She holds a BS in Mathematics from the University of Houston (and was thisclose to a second degree in English). She devotes her spare time to finding new sports (and trying not to injure herself), playing the violin, entertaining her husband, two dogs, cat, and a new little one, and putting fish references into her blog.
