Background

The Institute was founded by me, Stephan Wehner, back in the year 2001. That makes it almost 10 years old! It is located in Vancouver, Canada.

Founder: Stephan Wehner

I am a Mathematician and Computer Scientist, with a Ph.D in Mathematical Logic, and the equivalent of a Masters of Science in Computer Science.

I have many years of experience developing software, starting with embedded systems, through solving numerical and combinatorial problems to enterprise systems and scalable web applications. Please take a look at personal c.v. for more details.

I was born in France, grew up in Germany and Belgium and have lived in Vancouver, Canada since 1991, with a one year stop-over in San Francisco, CA. I have two young daughters.

You can follow me on twitter, or read my blog.

The Institute's Name

I chose the name of the Institute in honour of Jim Buckmaster of San Francisco, California. I hope you like it! I find it sounds really pretty good.
