Bryce Corkins
Bryce has been immersed in the internet since launching his first website at the age of eleven. Since then he’s dabbled in a myriad of different technologies: from microcontoller programming in assembler, all the way up to database-driven application development in Ruby on Rails and C++. In an odd twist of fate, he is currently studying ancient Greek and reading a lot of very old books while pursuing a degree in the liberal arts at St. John’s College, Santa Fe.
Bryce has worked with organizations both small and large– local business owners, local & national non-profits, the Sate of New Mexico, and the US Department of Defense. He gets very excited about ways in which the internet can change how people think and how businesses operate.
