MEET THE TEAM
Our team will be expanding shortly.
Simon
After skating competitively, attending York university and Loyalist College I found my way to VDTS. Since then I have enjoyed deciphering what the customer actually wants and needs and how to make that come about. After being with them since 2011, I’ve worked my way up to software development team lead where I have the chance to bring my crazier ideas to reality.
Jake
I graduated university as a Bachelor of Information Technology with a specialization in game design and entrepreneurship in early 2012 and am currently 30 years old. I am a programmer at VDTS working on some of its latest applications. When not working I am an avid gamer and enjoyer of movies. I also enjoy writing and being creative.
Kishor
I am responsible for maintaining and updating financial information for VDTS. I have been working in Finance/Administration area for over 13 years now. I am originally from Nepal, but Canada has been home for past 10 years and I have been a proud Canadian citizen for 5 years now. Outside of work, I like to travel and spend time with my daughter and wife. I am a big soccer fan and follow different leagues around the world.
Lucius
Formerly a cook, currently a tiny house dweller striving to live self-sufficiently. Lover of growing things, rescuing wildlife, and raising livestock/pets. Forever a tinkerer and lover of tech who finally took the plunge into software development. Majored in economics/international development, followed by psychology/neuroscience at Dalhousie university. Studied computer programming at St. Lawrence College.
Dave
My background includes many years experience in robotics and PLC programming. I’ve spent almost 20 years in technical roles in the hardwood industry. Currently I look after the herd of HMT’s for VDTS. I am married to Tina and spend most of my time figuring how to make things better for me and others.
Pat
I am the only non-technical person at VDTS. I enjoy interacting with our employees and our customers. I’m the go-to person who gets answers and results. Contact me. I would love to talk to you!
Dave
After 25 years as a GM in the IT sector, I started my own technology consulting firm. An engagement in 2002 introduced me to an enterprising software developer and led to Voice Recognition as an effective tool for many of the processes in the lumber business. I am married to and work and travel with Pat. As one customs official remarked, “it’s a beautiful thing”. We have 2 adult children and I enjoy reading and playing guitar in our local church music ministry.
