Jason’s dream world would be filled with interesting people that constantly have new and innovative ideas and want to talk about them. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Several years ago, Jason Beutler was teaching a college computer engineering class when he realized that his students were writing better code than an outsourced team he was supervising at the same time. And that’s how EduSource was born. With almost 20 years of professional programming experience, you might expect Jason to spend his free time reading fantasy fiction, playing board games, or drinking Mountain Dew. He does. But he also spends a fair amount of time playing competitive sand volleyball and fanning hard-core at Notre Dame football games. His passion for Notre Dame extended to completing his MBA there in 2009. Professionally, Jason is passionate about process improvement and using accountability to grow young developers. He speaks often on this topic, to audiences as diverse as coding conference attendees, classes full of university students, and computer science educators. He’s currently serving on a national committee to measure and quantify the quality of high school computer science education.

On Tyler’s 5th day at EduSource, he got left behind when the team went out for lunch. He ran into the restroom, and when he came back out, the office was empty. But he handled it with amazing grace. That’s just how Tyler is: laid back and hard to ruffle.

Tyler Haire dreams of living in a tiny home on wheels and exploring all of the National Parks. While he’s at the parks, he’ll rock climb and hike, then he’ll wheel on to the next park. Once he tires of the tiny house, Tyler plans to live in Europe. Tyler loves everything technology, including UI/UX, machine learning & AI, video games, augmented reality, and … really any cutting-edge hardware. Another interesting thing about Tyler? He has been creating an animated movie for his favorite album, “The Dark Side of the Moon.”

One of Chris’ claims to fame is that he watched The Lion King 400 times as a child. Hakuna matata!

Chris is passionate about automation and process, because “it makes peoples’ jobs easier with less repetitive, boring work.” Hailing from all over the United States, Chris has lived in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and Indiana. He misses the Philly Cheesesteak from Pennsylvania – it’s his favorite sandwich and he hasn’t had a good once since leaving. Chris loves sports, playing tennis and volleyball and watching the Green Bay Packers. He attends a few games each year with his dad.

Wayne’s favorite video game is called Space Engineers. “Think Minecraft, but in space!” he says.

Wayne loves to laugh. “Anything that’s funny can make my day 100% better,” he said. Sometimes, that might be his twin younger brothers. And sometimes, that might be anime, which he’s been known to binge watch. Wayne is particularly interested in robotics, computer security, and consumer electronics, which might explain why Redmond, Washington is up next on his travel bucket list – he wants to visit the Microsoft campus. Wayne started working as an EduSource apprentice during his sophomore year at IUPUI.

When looking for a new Business Analyst, we advertised it as a “Business Analyst Unicorn,” because we needed someone to do business analyst work PLUS wear several other part-time hats. When Patric came into work the first day? He was wearing a unicorn hat. And that pretty much tells you about Patric’s sense of humor … we’ve been laughing since day 1.

Patric reads 3-4 books each month and listens to podcasts on his commute. He just loves to learn. Of course, one of his greatest educations has been in parenting – he and his wife have two teenaged sons (and a dog). Patric immerses himself in whatever the boys are into, be that marching band, indoor percussion, or soccer. If he doesn’t have events for the kids, he loves to watch horror movies, tinker with technology, binge watch Netflix, or take his wife out for a date. Unless, that is, his beloved Wisconsin Badgers are playing football or basketball – then that obviously takes priority!
