You might find Braden munching on Cheez-Its while playing board games or DnD. He’s always sure he’s going to win, though sometimes he’s slowly convinced otherwise.

Braden was born in Marion, Ind., and that’s where he went to school (Indiana Wesleyan University). He later went to high school in Fishers, Ind., and that’s where he’s now working at his first full-time job. Braden is a self-appointed master Googler, who says, “I really believe in diving in the deep end of projects and figuring things out. Sometimes this leads to me being in a bit over my head, but it has made me a very good Googler.” Braden has two brothers, both of whom are teachers and a sister who is still in school. When Braden himself was in high school, he got certified in Microsoft Excel, pleasing his accountant father. His parents live in a house they built in Cicero, where, according to Braden, you can watch the best sunsets.

Jason’s dream world would be filled with interesting people that constantly have new and innovative ideas and want to talk about them. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Several years ago, Jason Beutler was teaching a college computer engineering class when he realized that his students were writing better code than an outsourced team he was supervising at the same time. And that’s how RoboSource was born. With almost 20 years of professional programming experience, you might expect Jason to spend his free time reading fantasy fiction, playing board games, or drinking Mountain Dew. He does. But he also spends a fair amount of time playing competitive sand volleyball and fanning hard-core at Notre Dame football games. His passion for Notre Dame extended to completing his MBA there in 2009. Professionally, Jason is passionate about process improvement and using accountability to grow young developers. He speaks often on this topic, to audiences as diverse as coding conference attendees, classes full of university students, and computer science educators.

Kinsen loves music. She had a goal to go to 30 concerts by the time she was 30 years old, but completed her goal when she was 19. So now she needs a new goal.

An Enneagram 8, you might expect Kinsen to come into the room and start bossing everyone around. Instead, she’s soft-spoken and gentle. But boy, can she get things done. Kinsen loves social media and has already built one successful fan account. She’s enjoying learning marketing through the lens of her Music Business major. Someday, she hopes to manage a music venue or be an artist manager. In her free time, Kinsen loves playing sand volleyball with her dad and, well, going to concerts.

Belmont University – BA in Music Business (expected in 2025)

Coach Bot loves process, process, process. His goal is to take your SOPs and make sure they happen the same way, every single time.

Coach can be intense, but he means well. His passion in life is for data, whether that’s gathering data or analyzing it for inefficiencies.

Anne’s afraid of spiders, but not much else.

Anne’s directive is to “save the world through process automation,” so she has a hero complex. We try to keep the superhero cape off of her, but somehow you can often find her running around the office, cape streaming out behind her.

Hass loves to greet everyone cheerfully in the morning. Often it’s “Top of the morning to ya!” in a bit of an Irish brogue. But last Friday it was “Guten morgen.” We all agreed that it was slightly less peppy than his usual greeting.

John Hasenmyer is the spirit of RoboSource. He just is. He was the very first person founder Jason Beutler hired (even before his wife, Kendra!). But it’s more than that. Hass’ passion for mentoring young programmers comes through big time. O summer, he personally coached all 12 of our student apprentices, meeting with them occasionally to discuss career options and future thinking. And more often than not, you’ll find his chair pulled up to the desk of a less-experienced programmer, chatting about creative ways to solve a problem. Hass once spent six months hiking the entire Appalachian Trail with his wife. But his attempts to lead company backpacking trips have been only moderately successful. Programmers, after all, usually aren’t hired for their hiking ability.

What does Caleb like to do for fun? Skiing, golf, football, baseball … “basically anything competitive,” he says.

Caleb plays on the Rose-Hulman football team and loves programming, which isn’t as unusual of a combination as you might think. He’s originally from Batesville, Indiana, which he loves due to its small size and strong community. “But really,” he says, “the best thing about Batesville is Skyline Chili.” Brandon loves his pizza with ham and grew up as one of four kids.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology – BS in Computer Science (expected in 2026)

Two parts financial guru, one part parent to adopted teens, one part rock band bass player. Michael is definitely not what you expect when you think of “Director of Finance.”

Michael is a problem solver. He loves nothing more than to be left alone to figure out a solution to a tricky puzzle. Michael simply doesn’t call attention to himself. HIs stress outlet (other than a deep love for music) is rock climbing or hiking or camping. Basically, anything outdoors. He and his wife also have a serious passion for helping teens through the foster system, in which their three adopted children spent most of their lives. But it’s not all older kids around the Neeley household – little Will is always around to keep things interesting!

Ball State University – BS in Entrepreneurship (2006)

Stephen loves animals. His dog Luna is treated like a dear child. And he used to have a family of white rats. Occasionally, they would even make an appearance on a Zoom meeting.

Stephen Northam takes our Figure-it-Out Gene Core Value seriously. He is driven to understand why something works the way it works, and he’s dogmatic in not stopping until it makes sense to him. Stephen came into RoboSource in an unusual way – he wasn’t part of an apprentice class, instead starting alone when no other apprentices were on site. When he started, there were no big training days or apprentice vlog. We just threw him in. And Stephen has been excelling ever since. We haven’t yet thrown down a challenge that Stephen won’t tackle fearlessly. And I doubt we ever will.

Justin was an Eagle Scout in high school. For his final project, he built bat boxes on high poles and placed them in local parks. But he’s not sure if any bats ever actually moved in.

Justin Powell is a heads-down, ready-to-work programmer. But we’ve still managed to learn some things about him. Music is vital to Justin’s life. In high school, he was part of a competitive marching band, playing trumpet. Music continued to be important through college. Today, you’ll hear him listening to a variety of genres, but never country or rap. Justin likes to hang out with friends, but he’s also pretty happy having some time to himself.

Twen doesn’t like extreme heat. But he can handle it, because, you know, he’s a robot.

Twen is always positive, and he’s constantly tweaking things to leave them better than he found them. Twen likes to follow orders, and he likes everyone else to follow orders too. He isn’t thrilled when things don’t go according to plan. The plan, you see, is the most important thing to Twen. That’s why you want him running your RPA projects. Nothing will cause Twen a “meltdown” like a plan that isn’t being taken seriously.
