Chris Marriott
CEOFor Chris, working with technology is not a job. It's a lifelong passion. He started out as a teenager working in an Apple retail store, and moved up to an Apple systems engineer & technical sales engineer, network administrator, web and database developer before founding Torusoft in 2009.
As CEO, he oversees Torusoft's I.T. consulting services, and acts as the first and last point of contact for many clients. His passion for streamlining business processes gets him up in the morning, and seeing technology improving customers' lives is what keeps him going.
Jobelle Martin
Front-end DeveloperJobelle moved from the Philippines to Halifax in 2007 to study I.T. and web development at Nova Scotia Community College. She started at Torusoft as a student intern with limited practical knowledge and experience. Almost a decade later, Jobelle has amassed an impressive, ever-expanding set of design, layout and coding skills, and has become an indispensable part of every web project we ship.
Harley Business Dog
Chief Morale OfficerBusiness Dog's rise through Torusoft's Byzantine corporate bureaucracy from mere puppy to Chief Morale Officer in just five years is truly impressive. The burden placed upon the Chief Morale Officer's shoulders would give Atlas paws. Some say Harley's ability to keep staff morale at high levels, despite the draconian policies enforced by Torusoft's Evil Overlord, is a true gift. He may be the most valuable member of Torusoft's executive team.
