New recruits join Catalina’s Development team
The Catalina Freedom community is growing, so we have taken on some new recruits to help support the growing needs of your Freedom systems. You can find out below who our new recruits are and what they will be doing at Catalina.
Joanna Beaver – Software Developer
Jo (pictured in the middle above) has joined Catalina to focus on developing Freedom, especially Freedom Online, our web booking tool.
Prior to joining Catalina, Jo developed virtual learning systems for the Education sector. Most recently Jo worked with the team at the Judge Business School (part of the University of Cambridge) to develop their virtual learning environments and integrated their existing systems into the new platform that Jo developed for them, supporting and training the staff as needed.
Jo is very customer focused, understanding what is required from a project, writing specifications, building the system and project management.
In Jo’s spare time she enjoys going to the gym and bird ringing at Wicken Fen, to help monitor bird populations as part of species conservation projects.

In his spare time, Nik enjoys Rock music, and online gaming, where he has been part of the ‘Overwatch’ gaming community for the last 2 years
