Seattle, WA April 25, 2008 -- Birdstep Technology (OSE: BIRD) today announced that Wayne Warren has returned to Birdstep Technology as Distinguished Engineer.
"We are thrilled that Wayne has returned to Birdstep and I am looking forward to collaborating with him on future projects," says Bill Houglum, Vice President Engineering, Birdstep Technology Database Division.
In 1982 Wayne Warren along with Randy Merilatt established one of the industries' first embedded database technology companies, Raima. These two former Boeing Computer Services Engineers saw the need for a fast reliable database that could be integrated seamlessly into different types of application software. From this insight they developed what would become the RDM family of embedded database technologies.
"Wayne comes at a time when the company is developing many new features into our embedded database product line." "We are looking to him to help guide us in making innovative and sound architectural decisions," says Ducan Bates, Vice President Product Management, Birdstep Technology Database Division
