Standout Jobs

When they say, “a startup is like a family”, they’re not kidding. Today we’re pleased to announce that Gary Haran has joined the Standout Jobs team…err…family. We’ve hired from the “Haran clan” before — Daniel Haran joined a few months ago.

Gary is a combined JavaScript Ninja and Ruby Guru, making him a Nuru or Ginja, I’m not sure. I’ll let him decide. He’s an active blogger at http://www.garyharan.com.

Gary has considerable startup experience so he knows what he’s getting himself into. He’s also responsible for one of the most successful posts I’ve ever seen on digg, which is a game he coded in less than 200 lines of JavaScript.

We met Gary awhile ago at the first or second DemoCamp (there are so many events these days, who can remember…and that’s a good thing!) He fits in perfectly with our burgeoning culture, and jumps on board at a time when things are accelerating insanely.

Welcome aboard, Gary.
