Collin Forrester

Collin wants to live in a world where: 140 characters is not only the limit for Twitter, but emails too, Fridays are considered holidays, and technology actually makes our lives easier and stays out the way. As a lead software engineer for Valvora, his skills include front end development (of all kinds), product development, solving problems, web and native mobile development, and figuring out new ways to solve old problems. When he's not building the next best thing, you can find him outside with his dogs, taking something apart, or aspiring to become a professional Denver Broncos fan. He enjoys the blend of challenges and fun that Valvora provides him, and the opportunities to build great things because there is never enough inspiring tech solutions in the world. And at Valvora, that's just what they're up to.

Landon Miller

"As Valvora’s Head intern and only intern my title comes with a lot of power and responsibility. Skills under my belt include but are not limited to an array of programming languages, mobile game development, graphic design, UI/UX design, analyzing the technology industry, creativity, and Chewbacca sounds. My strong love for technology grew as it increased my ability to participate in a world not designed for dyslexics. When I am not working or sleeping you could find me taking pictures of myself, studying IT Innovation at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, or lost in the void of the Internet. I would call myself a normal guy, which I am, but instead I will take on the role of the introspective MacBook wielding hipster with an eye for design and a modern pompadour haircut, because I am a millennial. Valvora’s greatest year-round intern ever."

Luke Christiansen

At Valvora we believe you should always love what you are doing. That's why you do it.

With a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Nebraska and an MBA from Creighton University, Luke built his foundation in the best of both worlds.

After nine years of working on projects like planning disaster recovery and business continuity procedures for a Fortune 500 company, building a private streaming video platform and leading a team through strategic R&D and product implementations. Luke learned the power of attention-to-detail, innovation, creativity and honesty. Now that talent, energy and capability is focused on leading a team of innovators who are building simplicity for you and your business. You need solutions. He leads his team to give you answers.
