About Us
At Port 443 we work together, laugh together, and eat a lot of donuts together. (Have you seen our Instagram? It’s basically a food blog.) Our products (My Music Staff, TutorBird & AthletaDesk) are always evolving, making for an exciting and dynamic environment. Every day, we’re connecting with our thousands of users all around the world. If you ask them what they love about us, they’ll tell you that we really listen to their needs and go above and beyond to help. Our members are at the heart of everything we do. Their feedback and ideas help shape our products, and at the end of the day, we’re all here because of them…
…and because of the donuts.

Meet the Team!
Dan is the founder & president of the company, so none of us would be here without him! He’s at the helm of our Port 443 ship, overseeing the many on-the-go projects and the direction of the company. You can always count on Dan to share adorable & hilarious stories about his family around the lunch table. Fun fact: did you know you can suddenly develop an avocado allergy as an adult? Dan knows! 🥑
Ishika is one of our fabulous front–end developers whose enthusiasm has brought even more fun to the team. She’s thoughtful and friendly, making it easy to work alongside her on a project and easy to talk to around the lunch table! Though she’s already travelled to some pretty cool places (ask her about the trip to Cairo!), one thing still on her bucket list is a solo trip to Bali ✈️
Ken is our Project Manager, keeping our many tasks on track and projects running smoothly! He’s always looking for ways to improve our processes and make things as efficient as possible for the team. He’s also always looking for ways to put a smile on your face – stop by Ken’s office in the morning to say hi and you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a great day 😀 When looking at his impressive resume you might think he’s done it all, but one thing still left on his bucket list is to visit the Arctic and see the Northern Lights!
Marc is one of our back-end developers, working on all the things “under the hood” that keep our products running. And while that may be his official role at Port 443, there’s another role he plays that brings even more joy to the office… King of Birthday Messages Whether it’s a hilariously photoshopped picture of the birthday honoree or a fully interactive game within our test environment, we’re always waiting to see what Marc comes up with!
Shannon is one of our fantastic front-end developers whose curiosity and creativity make her a joy to work with! A lover of music, she’s a secret karaoke master who’d love to learn to play the ukelele some day. By day, she’s hard at work helping the team upgrade our products to the next level, but by night she loves to go home, unwind, and enjoy some delicious comfort food. (Her preference? Pierogies 😋)
Thomas’ skills as a developer means he can jump between working on the front-end, the back-end, or the servers to help out wherever he’s needed. His hobbies outside of work include everything cool you could possibly think of. Cooking? His IG looks like a professional chef’s. DIY? He can build just about anything. Swords?! YES ⚔
Vick is our Star Wars enthusiast and diehard fan of Toronto-based sportball teams! As a member of the front-end development team, he’s focused on making sure that what our users see actually looks and works like it’s supposed to. In his spare time, Vick can be found watching hockey, playing hockey (NHL game series or good ol’ fashioned street hockey), reading books about hockey… look, he really likes hockey okay?! 🏒
