Meet the team
Nick Mask
PresidentEven the most complex project can be tamed by Nick's leadership and development skills. Nick knows his team just as well as he knows his favorite text editor. He is always able to choose the right people for the job and knows when to jump into the fray himself. Whether it is leadership, development, server administration or even gardening, Nick has the solution to the problem.
Ben Mason
Senior Software DeveloperWhether it’s a B movie or an inside-joke t-shirt, Ben corners the market on eclectic tastes. That extends to his programming work, where he tackles challenges ranging from decade-old spaghetti code to an iOS app no one really understands. And he does it all with a smile on his face. To date, he’s the only Zinger to have a client actually throw a party for the great work he’s done.
James Haynes
Senior Software DeveloperAs our local Mini Cooper enthusiast, James impresses bystanders with the custom bumper stickers and custom sun-shade in his Mini. At the desk, he's famous for jumping head-first into new projects and unraveling even the squirreliest of problems. And yes, he insists "squirreliest" is a word.
Sebastian Awatramani
Software DeveloperSebastian is a rare colorado native who, when not programming, can be found exploring the alpine lakes and tundra of wildernesses of Colorado (and sometimes he takes his laptop there too). While his educational background is in political science and philosophy, he discovered a love for computers at the ripe age of 11 when his dad gave him a Tandy 1000TL, in frustration at not being able to use it himself. He's had a fascination with computers ever since, and so it was only natural he would pursue a career in web development.
Ethan Elshyeb
Software DeveloperEthan is a Colorado-based designer, engineer, photographer, and music producer. When he's not tackling some of Zing's most difficult software challenges, he likes exploring, eating, and randomly jumping off things yelling "parkour!"
Jamison Griffith
Software DeveloperJamison loves tackling complex and nuanced problems with creativity and critical-thinking. His previous experience in healthcare and education provide an empathetic approach to design and he is always happy to provide technical documentation. Jamison has played guitar for 10+ years, enjoys kayaking, skiing and snorkeling, and will geek out about Docker if you give him the opportunity.
