Tristan Walters is a developer on the Project Management team and has been with Website Pipeline for over 4 and a half years.
He's accomplished a lot during his time here, but arguably his greatest achievement was the invention of the Trashtendo (see picture below) during the most recent Website Pipeline FedEx Day. It's not very easy to use and incorporates little modern technology, but most of the materials are "recycled trash" so it's an eco-friendly collector's item.

I have a wide range of hobbies but the one I've been doing for the longest would be collecting old video games. I know I have over 400+ Nintendo games and hundreds of Atari 2600 games. My collections for other systems aren't nearly as impressive. I also enjoy camping and 3D printing.

Neuromancer is one of my favorite books. I love anything with a cyberpunk setting/theme.
