Techăpolis
Bica
Stenerson

Techăpolis started in 2010 when we decided to stop wasting ideas and start pursuing them. We've got a lot of ideas; some good, some not so much. Techăpolis is an opportunity for us to explore those ideas and see where they take us. We'd like to make the world a smarter, better place. Why Wait?

Through this blog we hope to provide our opinions on technology related news; reviews for iOS, OS X and PC-based applications; thoughts on products and feature improvements for items that may or may not be available in the marketplace; insight into our decision-making process, and all of the things we learn along the way. Hopefully this can be a useful and interesting resource for others who find themselves in a similar situation.

Brandon Bica - Twin Cities, MN
(Co-Founder)

My name is Brandon. I recently relocated back to the Twin Cities after accepting a Product Development position with HighJump Software. I'm currently working on an Agile team where we build functionality into the base supply chain applications. Having formerly been a consultant and implementation specialist with HighJump, I see working on developing the core product as an exciting new challenge that will provide useful experience for all of my future ventures. While I began my foray into development during high school, I didn't really jump down the rabbit hole until my freshman year of college in 2002. Throughout my four years at the University of Minnesota Duluth I worked toward developing my skills in web-based software. I graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration with an emphasis on Management Information Systems. Since then I have worked in jobs that provided me valuable insight into industries that include fantasy sports, real estate and supply chain/inventory management.

(Co-Founder)

Hey, I'm Matt Stenerson. I've been in the web/software space since 2005 when I was a junior at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. I'm currently working as a project manager at HighJump Software. In my four plus years at HighJump I've worked on three continents for more than 10 customers including Fuji-Xerox, Bridgestone, and Anheuser-Busch In-Bev. My favorite thing about technology is learning new things. Techăpolis is an opportunity for me to surround myself with new ideas and seemingly foreign technology. I live in Minneapolis and enjoy spending time with my wife, Sandra and our dog, Sydney.
