About Us

| |
I'm Lance Walley, the founder of QHI. I lost my Perl programming job in 2001, so I started QHI to offer Perl programming services for hire. I was fortunate to find a couple of clients almost immediately.
Over the next few years, QHI clients needed more than I could provide alone, so I brought in my friend, Tom Mornini, to help evaluate Perl programmers who could do work for clients. We built up a stable of great Perl developers.
Business expanded and we got a company apartment in Washington, DC, to support consultants who were working for government agencies.
Tom noticed Ruby on Rails in 2005 and felt it was the next big thing. He learned Rails and we started finding key people in the community
We ultimately dropped Perl support and focused exclusively on Rails.
The idea for Engine Yard came from early Rails clients in 2006 and grew into a self-standing business by the end of 2006. We grew EY throughout 2007 and took VC funding in 2008 from Amazon, Benchmark Capital, and New Enterprise Associates.
QHI clients today want the best Ruby/Rails developers. They want our consultants for a number of months or, sometimes, they want to hire them. Clients usually want work performed on-site.
We continue to give our clients the best possible developers we can find through our network of contacts throughout the Ruby and Rails communities.
