Keenan Keeling
Chief Executive Officer
Keenan has the entrepreneurial spirit in his blood - you could even say he was destined to be a technology CEO. But don't mistake him for just a "business guy" - he's been programming since he was a kid and loves getting his hands deep into code. Keenan has been on the forefront of rich internet application development from the very beginning. He was one of the original developers to embrace Flex and now his knowledge and skills are in heavy demand. With this strong nerd-fu and business acumen Keenan makes for a great captain of the good ship Automata.
Branden Hall
Chief Technical Officer
Branden has a very hard time choosing a favorite number - it's a toss-up between 0 and 1. When he's not making terrible math-based jokes Branden loves crafting code. He was in kindergarden when he first got a taste of what computers could do. Ever since, he has had an insatiable appetite for all things digital. Branden was a pioneer in the early days of online rich media and his work has won a number of industry awards. When he's not hard at work bringing smile-inducing user experiences to life Branden can often be found speaking at industry conferences, hacking away on some electronics, playing video games, or hanging out with his wife and fellow geek Patti and their two sons.
