Chris Justus 10 years IT Development Experience Director, Software Development Alcea Technologies Inc. University of Waterloo Computer Science / Business Administration

Chris' focus on client/server technologies over the past ten years makes him a perfect fit for the Fast BugTrack team. Working for clients both large and small, from Nortel Networks and Bell Canada to Big Words and Spidertop, Chris has seen a variety of software development practices. During the past several assignments, Chris has acted as the build/configuration prime, responsible for the delivery of a variety of software projects, interfacing with the QA team, and frequently with the end-customer/client.

"A quality bug tracking tool is so important to the software development process - second only to using a source code repository. After having worked on five consecutive projects for clients, none of which were using a real bug tracking tool -- I felt that there was a real market need for a tool that was affordable to large and small teams, and that could be easily deployed into a development environment in which most team members were already working 110%. Following conversations with Sue Norton, another founder of Alcea Technologies with 15 years of QA experience, we felt we could develop a superior product, and provide a market leading solution."

Chris is one of the founders of Alcea Technologies, as well as having cofounded Magma Communications (the largest independent Internet Service Provider in Ottawa) in 1995, developing the Chat Server - a web based chat engine, and L'Hotel Chat - one of the largest chat sites on the Internet in 1996. Chris' wife makes Chris spend most of his free time with her and their two young children. This makes it hard to really concentrate on the art of brewing good beer.
