Shawna holds a BA in Computer Science from Oberlin College, and is currently a Master's student at the School of Information at University of California, Berkeley. Jeffrey has been working on independent computer projects for most of his life, and sees JPHein as an organic end result of his efforts to design sensible, user-friendly systems.
