How We Work


Strategy & Evaluation

As a consultative technology partner, we prioritize understanding business logic and outcomes from the beginning of every project.

Implementation & Launch

The coding phase utilizes discrete build/test increments (sprints) to reach feature goals. At the close of the final sprint, we release the website or application.

Maintenance

Once launched, the site is hosted and maintained via our MaintainIT™ service agreement.

Our History


Earthling Interactive, founded in December 1999, combines a serial entrepreneurial spirit with expertise in software and coding to solve problems. Having navigated numerous technological shifts, we’ve gained valuable insights that are best shared in a personal dialogue with our CEO.

You’re a mad scientist, what scientific experiment would you run if money and ethics weren’t an issue?

I would experiment with time travel. My motivation for this comes from a fascination with two periods in US history that I would like to “experience”. One being the American Revolution and two being WWII.

If you could have any mythical creature as a pet, which one would you pick and what would you name it?

I would want a Pegasus and I would name it Zephyr.

What’s the most ridiculous fact you know?

The longest word in the English language was the only word in a 4th-grade spelling test, and I still practice spelling it in my head in times of needed distraction. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

Imagine you’re an astronaut who just landed on Mars and found alien life. What’s the first thing you would say to them?

“Waddduup Boi!” and I would raise my hands trying to act friendly. I literally would try to befriend the alien and have it teach me everything we do not know about this universe. I think it would be quite fun and genuinely believe I could pull it off!

If you could mix two animals to create the ultimate pet, what would they be and what would you name your new creature?

Sun Bear and a Macaw.  It could be big, cuddly, and could be trained to talk.  I’d call it a “Suma.”

If you could choose any imaginary place to live, where would it be and what would your house look like?

If I could choose any imaginary place to live I would definitely be looking for some type of hobbit hole situation that was built into the side of a mountain for great thermal efficiency and maximum coziness. I’d be surrounded by some nice terraced gardens overlooking a majestic flowing river.

If you found a genie and could only wish for something nonsensical, what would your wish be?

I would wish for a tree that grows spaghetti and meat balls.

If you could only eat one food item for every meal for a year, what would it be and why?

I would choose tacos. You can have breakfast tacos with eggs, tacos with chicken or beef, and even vegetarian or seafood tacos. With so many options, I wouldn’t get bored of them easily!

You’ve been given the chance to invent a new holiday; what and how would people celebrate it? 

When I am in charge of creating holidays, I will create one called Empathy Day where everyone switches a career or health condition or ethnic origin etc. so that the world learns more about the perspectives and challenges others must go through in their lives.
