haiku LMS is a young, startup company. We have great aspirations, but we are also focused on embodying the 'harmony, simplicity and community' that we chose as our tagline. We come from a liberal arts background, and are thus grounded in our desire to contribute to the world of education that has given so much to us.

Reynard claims to get most of his inspiration from playing violin and piano and enjoying the beautiful Indiana outdoors. ;)
Marcos Wright Kuhns
Developer
Marcos is the greenest member of HAIKU, joining the team after graduating from college in 2006. Motivated by years of making due with mediocre LMS systems at school he's ready to make online education easier for students and teachers alike. While previous internships and freelance work has provided him with a background in a variety of programing languages, Marcos has come to love programing in Ruby on Rails at HAIKU.
In his spare time Marcos enjoys being creative with photography & graphic design, lending a hand with various open-source projects and just enjoying newly-married life.
