Meet the OneRiot Team // Web

7/22/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Life at OneRiot

Second in our series of “Meet the Team” posts is OneRiot’s Web team, a tight crew of code ninja bug slayers that keep our site looking fresh. And working. Bless them.

Nick Busey

picture-429 At the delicate age of 23, Nick Busey is not exactly… delicate. Coding since the 4th grade, this adrenaline junkie rides little kids’ bikes, dirt bikes, snowboards, skateboards, snowskates - pretty much anything with wheels except roller skates, cause that would be lame. When Nick isn’t feeling sweet mountain air breeze through his dreadlocks at the speed of light, he’s probably snapping pics, camping, caving, hiking, or getting his political activist on. Nick runs a few websites of his own, including Pedal BMX, and VJs for his brother’s band, Fizakat. He also wanted me to tell you that he can remember pretty much every quote from every movie he’s ever seen, so if you’re similarly gifted… duel.

Soo-Yee Wong

sooyee Soo-Yee is the only lady engineer at OneRiot, which is probably why Nick and Chris plant flowers and light incense by her desk every morning. She’s spent over 11 years working in and around software development, hanging out with small startups, mid-size businesses and Fortune 100 companies. When Soo Yee isn’t head-down coding, she’s out and about, exploring new places and trying local goodies like chocolate and coffee and wine and tea and pies and cupcakes and cookies and …

Chris Lintz

picture-1122 Chris heads up the web team here at OneRiot, something he is well qualified for thanks to his experience in the adult entertainment industry. Kidding. Ok, not kidding, but he only wrote code for them. Promise. Of course, he’s done some other boss-worthy stuff too, like helping to build Vegas.com, the #1 city destination website in the world. As you know, Vegas has nothing to do with adult entertainment and everything to do with live music, which might explain why Chris is also a nine-year DJ, dropping beats everywhere from house parties to the hippest lounges to the most happening party of them all - the OneRiot holiday party.
