Tony Hillaire

Director of Software Development

TonyTony has been working with computers for over 25 years. He has been involved in all aspects of information technology from hardware repair, training and teaching computer programming, to the development of software. He served his country, taking part in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm as an Electronics Technician in the United States Navy. In the mid 1990′s he worked on Software as a Service (SAAS) and Content Management Systems (CMS) for E-Commerce, long before these terms became common.

He remains ahead of the curve with his current involvement in Cloud Computing and Cloud Hosting. “For the better part of my life, I have been a technophile, embracing new technology and pushing the limits.” Tony attributes his programming skills and problem solving abilities as the reasons why clients can rely on him to manage their customization needs. Clients are his highest priority and happiness is found in small victories.

Tony relaxes while listening to classic rock—Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Beatles, with a little contemporary The Black Eyed Peas thrown in, and by reading tech manuals and science fiction. Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series is a favorite. Otherwise, he spends family time with his wife and his son, making the most of the outdoors by hiking in the woods or boating in the Puget Sound.
