Craig Demyanovich
Software Developer/Partner
Fairly fresh out of school, Craig was exploring Java by night while working with Visual Basic 6 by day. He found JUnit and was intrigued by the idea of writing tests to gain a high degree of confidence in his code. At about the same time, he read about refactoring. It wasn't long before he was reading about eXtreme Programming and software craftsmanship. He knew that he had found techniques that could help him write great software.
For the next several years, Craig would gradually refine how he crafted software as a member of the I.T. group of a global biological sciences and laboratory equipment company and while working for his Faith. Also during that time, he found Ruby. He didn't put the language to immediate use, but he kept an eye on it. In 2006, he attended his first meeting at the local Ruby user group. Little did he know then that he would found Mutually Human Software with three of the people he met that day.
Outside of work, Craig enjoys reading, playing hockey (something he's done since the age of 5), playing tennis with his daughter and spending time with his wife, his high school sweetheart.

In February 2005 Zach started the Michigan Ruby Users Group. In late summer of 2006 he helped organize and spoke at the first annual RubyConf*MI. He has contributed to Ruby’s standard library documentation and to Rails as well as authoring and maintaining plugins like ActiveRecord::Extensions, form_test_helper, view_tests and test_unit_story_runner.
