GiantByte Software
GiantByte Software is based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with a focus on innovative custom software projects using open source tools such as Zope, Django, the Quixote web framework, PostgreSQL and more.
Extensive experience with enterprise-caliber projects using Zope, CMF, object-databases, relational databases, and complex integration involving external systems. Specialities include needs analysis, creative systems / database design, and project management.
