Ed Van Wieren
Founding Partner, Senior Developer
Ed VanWieren is a founding partner, former CEO, and current Software Developer at SeisWare International Inc.
Ed’s always been a passionate software developer and started writing code when he was just 14. He graduated from the Computer Science program at the University of Calgary and has spent most of his career developing software for oil and gas.
In 1997, Ed’s desire to do something fun, innovative, and interesting drove him to start his own company. He recognized the need for a seismic interpretation package that was easy to use, ran on a Windows ® platform, and solved daily workflow problems for geoscientists.
Ed partnered with another developer to form Zokero Inc., and together they wrote SeisWare interpretation software. Many years later, Ed has partnered with the founders of Blue Castle Corp. to form SeisWare International Inc.
In his own words, Ed focuses on “partnering with our customers, not just writing software for them. I love sitting down, hearing their problems, and solving their issues. We want to connect the program to the person using it.”
