MEET YOUR TEAM
In this century we have come to realize that a company’s future is built on how they treat and value their people. Valuing people builds loyalty and trust, which creates a motivated workforce.
We are beyond motivated. We are determined to make a difference.
JEFF HONSOWETZ, CPA
President
Jeff’s not just the President of Interject, he’s the dean of data-driven spreadsheets! A career CPA turned tech expert, Jeff’s spent his working life making the data world better by bridging the gulf between business and technology. He’s a visionary, a sage, a data Yoda. The technical savvy Jeff’s gained over the years is an inspiration to our team, especially considering all the new tricks this old dog’s still learning. So is his loyalty to the Vancouver tech community. Jeff’s the Chair of Education for Portland SIM, the Treasurer at Oregon SQL, and is on the Planning Committee for SQL Saturday Oregon. Plus, Jeff’s an avid Meetup organizer and goer and an enthusiastic kids coding club supporter. Sleep? Nah, he’ll write a program for that.
STAN MORIN
Controller
Stan is a controller, an HR department, a project manager, and generally the ruler of all that is important. His approach to healthy management may be inspired by his veganism, but it certainly ensures Interject’s behind-the-scenes ops go off without a hitch. Backed by years of experience in everything from pharmacy to fleet management, there’s nothing he can’t handle. In fact, Stan also manages Notary Cafe, an Interject sister company serving notaries in the mortgage industry. Stan’s passion for fitness regularly makes us feel bad, and by the time most of us get out of bed, he’s already got hours of training under his belt. Cool Asics! Do they come with kale?
EUGENE LYUBAR
Senior Data Architect
Is he an MSCE armed data engineer? Is he a detail driven data architect? Is he a titan of tax prep? Eugene’s combined data, business, and programming skills provide the outstanding support and innovative solutions our clients have come to depend on. Tackling tough business reporting problems since 2006, Eugene’s experience is pivotal to many of our clients’ successes. He’s the best cornerman you could want when the bell sounds on budget season. About the only things that could clobber Eugene are his baby daughter and young son. They look innocent, but we know who’s boss.
MISTY CAIN, PMP
Director of Project Management
Misty’s been talking trash for years. An ex-financial controller and current senior project manager, her deep experience handling finance in the solid waste industry translates to an acute understanding of our users’ needs. Her capacity to learn new tech and her eagle-eye for detail make Misty an easy choice for Interject leadership, and she consistently takes on some of the biggest projects Interject encounters. Do we stump her? Not for a second. A compliance connoisseur, an audit artiste, Misty knows everything there is to know about, well, everything. And she works almost 170 miles from the office! Telepathy, or talent? We say both.
ROBBY BONEY
Director of Product
A practiced musician, Robby came to the Northwest from L.A. to study neuroscience at WSUV. While there, he researched hearing loss in zebrafish at the Coffin Labs. That got him into data science, which got him into Python and Jupyter, which got him into Interject. So, as you can tell, literally everything this guy does sounds cool. Robby’s one of our big thinkers, always aiming to push our platform, products, and business to the next rad thing, like cloud-based data apps on a consumer-level marketplace. What? That’s not a dubstep song rattling the office walls…it’s Robby’s vision and his R&D-minded orchestra!
VICTOR CALLEGARI
Software Developer
Victor: Cool name, cool guy. Victor’s programming talent is surpassed only by his unshakable work ethic. In addition to his tech qualifications, like a forthcoming MSCE, Victor learned some accounting on the side so he could really feel our clients’ pain. He’s an information pro with the .Net dexterity to back it up. Victor’s an integral part of our team, maybe even the liaison to our future Latin markets. Just don’t cross him, or his army of guinea pigs will be on you faster than an Interject data stream. (Don’t ask.)
IGOR TSYMBALYUK
Senior Data Developer
Originally hired to work the keyboard for a friend with a broken arm, Igor discovered a fierce interest in and wicked talent for programming, and he took off with bone-shattering pace. He picked up SQL and reporting so fast he puts the amp in revamping your financial close. And it doesn’t stop there: Igor’s always reaching for new knowledge and technology, leading complex integrations and developing cutting-edge solutions. Talk about a lucky break for Interject and our clients.
MIKE CAIN
Internal Audit and Support Manager
We work hard to keep our clients happy and our internals running smooth as silk. But when we do have issues, Mike’s the go-to dude! His support originates from an understanding of our clients so deep we can’t even explain it. Clairvoyance? Probably. And on top of his uncanny aptitude for assistance, Mike’s tech skills are otherworldly. We struggle to find stuff Mike can’t do. If he’s human, he’s superhuman. How do we know? We’ve seen him writing code while he smashes the mountain-bike trails near his home. Look…no hands!
NATHAN HERING
Software Developer
Nathan came to Interject after training and interning at the Tech Academy. Originally tasked with sprucing up a legacy .NET app, Nathan’s impeccable eye for detail and powerful problem-solving meant that he soon ditched the old and jumped into the new! Nathan now claims major successes supporting our primary offerings – from leading middle-tier development and client relationships for key app, to helping spearhead brand new products. He’s also a stellar contributor to our SQL Saturday events and, of course, our semi-annual Star Wars Premieres. It kind of goes without saying (which means we’re going to say it): the Force is strong with this one!
BILL ERICKSON
Director of Communications
Our in-house wordsmith, Bill went back to school for degrees in English and Digital Technologies after 20 years in the glass trade. When it comes to prose, his laser precision and keen ear—or is it eye? Whatever—are what make reading bios fun. But it’s not all jokes and good grammar, which we think are mutually exclusive. Bill’s helping us get great content to our clients and prospects and generally ironing out everything word-related. A prolific poet and memoirist, we’re all super nice to him in hopes of getting a good spot in his book.
ROB WOONER
Software Developer
We try not to hire people cooler than us, but we couldn’t help it with Rob. This guitar-playing, weight-tossing, rugby-slamming former Marine helicopter mechanic has so much cool that we kind of feel bad for everyone reading his bio. Before joining Interject’s dev team, Rob worked in building automation installing HVAC controls. He’s got a Computer Science degree from Washington State University Vancouver and brings his Marine Corps discipline to our clients’ problems (and, if we’re lucky, his super-funk guitar licks to all our meetings).
Ronald Salinas
Data Developer
Not to brag, but Ronald can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 20 seconds. And when he’s done with that, he’ll make your SQL queries nearly as lightning-fast. A graduate in Computer Science from Oregon State University, Ronald’s interests sit on the bleeding edge of computer vision and data optimization. But who are we kidding, we hired him mostly to teach us how to dance. You see, Ronald’s moves on the Dance Dance Revolution floor are just as slick as his chops with the Cube. He’ll put your DB into hyper-speed without skipping a beat. Guinness records? He’s got his eye on ’em.
Grant Wade
Software Engineer
At Interject there are two types of people: those with a reasonable number of cats, and Grant. But as long as he keeps sending us cat pics, we’ll let it slide. Not to mention Grant’s technical wizardry is crucial for the team, backed by years of taking things apart just to sate his curiosity (and no, we don’t mean cats). Like all of us, Grant is fascinated by tech, but he also has an artsy side, studying videography before earning his Bachelors in Computer Science. Are we secretly hoping he’ll make a film with all those feline friends? Of course. Is that the main reason we hired him? Um…
Samuel Riesterer
Software Developer
Samuel is our Don of Docs, our How-To Guru. If you need to learn Interject fast, he’s got the goods. The very definition of grit, Samuel took a Computer Science degree from Washington State University while working full-time and raising four kids–all while his wife was in school, too! We’re exhausted just thinking about it. Seriously, working with us is probably like a nap. There’s almost nothing Samuel doesn’t do in his spare time, from earning a 2nd degree black belt to cranking out beautiful mobile apps. He told us once that he has an unusually strong sense of smell. Imagine that– even his nose works overtime!
Brian Haugen
Software Developer
You’ve probably noticed we have a lot of folks with cool talents and skills. And maybe you’re asking well how do you top all this? The answer: an Eagle Scout. Brian isn’t just a boss at Python and SQL, he’s a boss at pretty much everything. Need to survive months in the woods? We’ve got Brian. Looking to conduct an ecological survey? Mr. Haugen’s got you covered. But it’s not all serious business here. Brian’s also our reigning Wordle champ and all-around gaming guru. If it’s challenging, then it’s right up his alley. Knot a lot of problems he can’t unravel…(sorry, they just happen sometimes).
SUPPORT STAFF
Our full and part-time support staff make every day possible. Their dedication and talents are critical to the company’s success and ability to grow at a controlled pace. Their contributions are so huge, we couldn’t even capture them all in a photo.
EXPERT CONSULTANTS
Our relationships with experts in the fields of database optimization, product development, marketing, and sales are key in our ability to provide quality services that our clients can depend on. We appreciate their passion and dedication to their industry and their contribution to our vision. We take their efforts so seriously, we couldn’t even crack a joke for this one.
OUR CULTURE
As a team we are working together to build a collaborative and growth-focused environment. We all share the common trait of getting bored quickly when we are not learning or making a difference with those around us. As many will attest to, there is rarely a day in the week that is not uneventful, stretches what we thought we knew, and doesn’t simply fly by. It is a great culture with a team full of talented and caring people.
