John Alexander
Founder and CEO
John's bio -- the short form: Born prematurely in a snow storm in Lincoln, Nebraska,
moved almost immediately
to Indiana. The path from there lead through Muscogee, OK (pre-school), Greewood, MA (1st-3rd grade),
Kensington, MD (4th - High School), Rice University in Houston, TX (BA Math), UC Berkeley (PhD Math),
Bolder, CO (Math Faculty), and finally to Austin, TX (Math Faculty at UT, IBM Marketing, wptc). He's
married and has
two (adult) daughters (UT Med School and UT Law School). John's major interests
are the publishing of GIS information on the Internet and what it would take to
make a web search answer the question: " what is the zoning at 3305 hancock drive 78731 ". He likes
the A's, Patriots (ok maybe the Jags too), Spurs, Cormac McCarthy, Numb3rs, Gyorgi Ligeti and strong black coffee.
He either rides his bike, runs or walks to work -- except on creative Thursdays. He stays home then. When he's
desperate for business, he bakes chocolate chip cookies for classes or Fun Friday.

Valerie Warwick
President
Valerie's bio -- the short form: Born and raised in Round Rock, Austin and San Antonio. She attended
Texas Tech University, worked in the Tech Library (Lubbock), a state agency (Austin) and has been with
wptc since 1988. Her skills focus on ArcGIS desktop and field applications with a heavy minor
in C# and ASP.Net. She's had certifications
as an ArcMap instructor (ESRI) and MCSE (Microsoft -- note: both John and Valerie were MSCE's in the
late 90's to about 2002. Studying for certification was critical to their understanding of the issues
of deploying GIS or Web applications in a Microsoft environment.) She has three daughters and one
grandson. She's written multiple mobile or Internet GIS editing applications. She's written a fire
tracking application (based on ArcMap) and managed the state wide deployment and training of its use.
She wrote a secure workflow that uploads data (shape files and profile) in zip formats,
decompresses and inspects the contents (C# libraries and OGR tools), handles exceptions, and queues the
shapefile in a ArcGIS Server queue. Each element in the queue is handled by a geoprocessing script that
is based on its profile.
Customers come to wptc because John dazzled them somehow, but they always end up wanting to work
with Valerie!
