About NoteMesh

Notemesh was started in May, 2006 with the philosophy that students should collaborate to graduate. Based out of Austin, TX, the four founders met each other while attending the University of Texas. The idea for the website was originated around finals time, when Ryan realized that he could put a course study guide on a wiki, and let students in the class help him fill out the missing answers. That wiki turned out to be a success, and the team soon formed to further elaborate on the idea. In late July 2006, a beta version of NoteMesh was made public to students attending the University of Texas, Austin. A month and half later, a new version of NoteMesh, featuring message boards, wiki history, and numerous other enhancements, was made public to all students, regardless of university!

Ryan Cornelius It was Ryan's idea to start this website after failing to study properly for his government final. Needless to say, it struck a chord with people! When the project first started, Ryan did not know the difference between HTML, AJAX, and Apache Web Servers. Now, Ryan manages to nail SQL queries and PHP functions with the greatest of ease. If only we could get him to stop playing Civ 4...

Dan Katz Dan is self-appointed imagineer of the group, championing new features, waving his hands in big circles and always pointing out the big picture. Besides being NoteMesh's technical lead, Dan also juggles random administrivia and support tasks required of the organization. He can frequently be found coding the backend with Ryan, writing the more complicated queries, and generally complaining about web usability. Aside from his crippling addiction to all things Hollywood, Dan still manages to find time to help keep NoteMesh on the right track. He understands that effective web design is like a good mullet, "All business in the front, and all party in the back."

Cat Chu When describing Cat, five words come to mind: really, really awesome web designer. Cat nailed NoteMesh's design with the aesthetics and usability that you can only find in today's cutting edge web applications. Although she runs 20 other websites, she still manages to put aside a lot of time to make NoteMesh "pretty".

Michael Chrien Michael is the remote ringleader of the team. He ensures deadlines are met, bugs are reported, and meeting notes are kept. He is also responsible for the majority of text found on the website. When he's not stressing out about little things, he can be found programming military flight simulators in a remote north Texas location.
