Dan Gallo : Developer
"A great number of things in our lives are taken for granted and are expected to work, but few people stop, with a great deal of enthusiasm, and examine 'the how'."
The inner workings of every day objects have attracted Dan from a very young age. As a child, he disassembled toys in order to examine how they function. His fascination with programming began when he became aware that anyone could manipulate a computer to perform whatever task they desire. His interests led him to attain his B.A. in Information Technology at York University, where he also spent time studying Classical, Jazz, and R 'n' B music.
