Mark Qvist
Developer & Support Specialist
Mark has joined us whilst in Australia away from his own consulting practice in Denmark. He is our resident Mac fanboy - if there's an important Apple product launch, don't expect him at work at 9am the next morning! Mark brings iPhone and iPad skills to our development team as well as RubyOnRails (our standard language/framework). He also helps out in support and systems, being the multi-talented guy that he is.

Engaging CoreMind
If you're ready to engage us, or curious about where to take things from here, please read about our enagement process then contact us if you have any questions or are ready to proceed with the first step.
N.B. Some of our staff work part-time (to varying degrees) to accommodate their continued further education and life goals. CoreMind believes in flexible employment and has systems in place not only to allow but to benefit from this structure. CoreMind's in-house support capability as of August 2010 is approximately 5 FTE staff. We always hire in excess of requirement in order to maintain our high selection, cultural and training standards.
