July 2018: Sparking Ideas

As fireworks filled the skies, sparks were flying here at Vector. Check out some of our latest highlights!

• We want YOU to join our team! Explore our current job openings here. If you have questions or would like more information, get in touch with us!

• We’re proud to announce the release of CartThrob 4! CartThrob 4 offers full ExpressionEngine 4 compatibility, bug fixes, and enhancements without losing any of the features found in CartThrob 3. Get it here! Follow our CartThrob Twitter for more updates and, as always, feel free to contact us with any questions.
• We held another fun “10 Things” presentation and celebration, wherein a few different employees presented 10 things about themselves. This round was Jaime Patino-Calvo and Doug Black. We learned that Jaime likes drawing and painting, and Doug’s whole family loves The Simpsons!

• We also added a “5 and 5” component to the presentations, with veteran employees presenting 5 things about themselves and 5 things they’ve learned from working at Vector. Our first 5 and 5 presenters were Santiago Sosa and Allyssa Price. Allyssa is a home pastry chef that has learned about the strength of projects that use all of our departments together, and Santiago is a video game fan that has learned how to get comfortable in being uncomfortable.
• We got to celebrate with our remote team in NYC for our Annual Summer BBQ! It was such a treat to have our whole Vector team together with our friends and families. From great food to swimming, kickball, soccer, and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, it was a fantastic day with the extended Vector family. Thanks to Stu for hosting, and Maggie for planning!

• We added two new people to the team!

• Meet Developer Dave Fischoff — he’s a music obsessive who’s currently diving deep into 60’s Cambodian pop and 80’s R&B. He also enjoys traveling the world, inventing cocktails, and is currently on a quest to perfect his recipe for homemade kimchi.
• Meet Project Manager Gina Doherty — she is a music lover who spends most of her free time at concerts and dance parties. She enjoys watching scary movies, traveling to tropical locations, and hanging out with her cat.
