Drew Davis is a Systems Administrator at CIMcloud, joining the team in February 2017 after serving in various IT roles for a medical management company. He has worked professionally in IT for almost 11 years now, but has been a "full-time nerd" for his entire life and built his first computer when he was just 7 years old (with some help from his dad, of course).

He's already taken on a great deal of responsibility in his brief time here, managing the day to day operations for Server level activities, fixing random issues that arise and proactively working to improve processes that will make the CIMcloud platform even better for customers. Like the rest of our IT department, Drew does an exceptional job of balancing a variety of ongoing tasks and has quickly become an invaluable asset for our team.  

Steven Hearndon joined the CIMcloud team in January 2017, bringing over 13 years of experience in professional software development. After almost 9 years working for a copier company in various roles, he returned to school to get his Master's degree in Computer Science and spent the last 3 years as a full-time student while working 2 part-time jobs. 

As a Product Manager, Steven oversees the translation of CIMcloud's product vision into an actual implementation plan for our product team. This requires in-depth collaboration with all areas of the business to make the CIMcloud vision a reality, and managing internal communication to ensure all software developers are on the same page as they work. 

Mike Hodges is a Software Developer at CIMcloud, joining the team in January 2017 and bringing over 15 years of experience in programming and software development for various organizations. Prior to joining the team, Mike was a Software Developer at Fluor Enterprises, Inc. working for their government group.

As a member of our Investment team, he spends part of his days "walking around in a confused haze" awaiting clarity to strike. Fortunately for us it typically does, and a large portion of his time is spent working on prototypes for new innovations to the CIMcloud platform. 

Daniel Carton has been part of the CIMcloud team for over a year, serving as an intern before coming on full time in January of 2017. Before joining the team, Daniel worked in a software lab at the University of South Carolina while he was working on his undergraduate and graduate degrees. 

As a member of the CIMcloud Small Development Team, Daniel works with sites that are not yet live to the public doing site enhancements. He spends a large part of his days working on custom development and code base alterations, doing everything from rearranging site elements to a completely new implementation. Daniel brings a high level of expertise and has already accomplished a lot in his various roles here, and is a survivor of the the infamous Intern Nerf Assault. 

Brady Bannister is a Software Developer on our ERP Operations Team, joining the company in January of 2017. Prior to working at Website Pipeline, Brady was at Clemson University doubling as a student and an employee of Clemson's IT Support Center. 

His first month or so at Website Pipeline was spent familiarizing himself with the web development tools, software applications and programming languages used by Website Pipeline. Brady then moved to the ERP Operations team after completing new developer training, and spends his days completing a variety of ERP related tasks. 

Richard Looper has been an Account Manager at Website Pipeline for 6 months, but brings over a decade of experience as a client evangelist for external customers and internal corporate customers. In addition to his vast amount of experience working directly with customers, he spent 15 years as a developer, systems integrator, and managing data center operations. 

As a member of our Account Management team, Richard spends his days working with our existing clients to ensure they have the best possible experience with CIMcloud by Website Pipeline. This role allows him to apply his years of experience and serve as a listener, trainer, project manager, support resource, and developer; luckily he's equipped to do all this and more. 

Andrew Zhang is a Software Developer on our Investment team, having been in this role for 3 months and previously serving as a summer intern at Website Pipeline. During the short time in his current role, Andrew has been exploring potential routes forward and implementing prototypes to proactively identify potential stumbling blocks before they occur. 

Having recently graduated from Clemson University, Andrew considers this his "first real job" but has professional experience in Software Development from freelance work (in addition to his internship with us). As a survivor of the Intern Nerf Assault of 2016, Andrew showed he has the toughness and resolve to overcome anything so we know he'll thrive on our team!

Website Pipeline celebrated 2016 with our annual Holiday Party this past Friday at Zen in downtown Greenville.

The night was filled with cold beverages, good conversation, and exceptionally lackluster dancing as Pipeliners new and old came together to bring in the new year.

This year, Eric Alexander, Neiman Schwartz, Matt Gleason and "The Original" Jack Evans were all recipients of the coveted Blue Vase Award. Based off the mentality demonstrated in the book The Go-Getter by Peter Kyne, the award is given to the top performers in the company over the last year who have demonstrated the willingness to go above and beyond, doing whatever it takes to excel in their role with the company. 

Additionally Don Martin, Chris Bradley and Brian Cain were honored for their years of service and commitment to Website Pipeline. 

 Check out the pictures below for a glimpse of our awesome celebration!

Hieu Ngo joined the Website Pipeline team 2 months ago as a Web Designer, having previously served as the Webmaster for Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System. During his first FedEx Day he brought home the infamous Cornhole Championship, striking envy in the hearts of many seasoned Pipeliners who haven't yet taken home the heralded title.  

He juggles his time between designing the visual aspects of a website's user expierence to meet a client's brand standards, and doing front end development where he implements these designs through coding languages. 

Hieu truly enjoys his day-to-day role at Website Pipeline and finds solace in the quote, “do what you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life.”  Needless to say, we're excited he "never works" on our team and expect big things from Hieu in the future.

Vince DeCrescenzio joined the Website Pipeline team two months ago as our Senior Accountant, adding to the growing list of recent hires. He was in the Marine Corps for 4 years before going to college and spent the last 2 years working at a consulting firm as an accountant. 

Vince has already taken on a lot of responsibilities in his short time here, although most of his time has been spent creating a 2017 budget. Like any good accountant, he finds combing through numbers all day to be very interesting and enjoys tackling large projects that few have the courage or aptitude for.
