Summary
Mike Magnus is a pragmatic technology leader and CEO with 14 years of hands-on software development experience across Java, Objective-C, Python, PHP, C, and SQL. Based in Calgary, he has built mobile games and apps for iOS, led robotics and inventory-management projects at SAIT, and now runs Great Red North to deliver budget-friendly, modern integration solutions. His background blends low-level programming and database design with product-oriented roles—often owning design through testing and maintenance—so he understands both code and operational constraints. Unusually for a CEO, he still draws on early embedded/robotics and mobile development experience to make technical trade-offs that prioritize maintainability and cost-effectiveness.
