Poulsbo, WA. – October 4, 2004

Paladin Data Systems announced today that it has hired software developer Kien Dang. Dang will join Paladin’s dedicated EKO-System team as the team ’s information management specialist.

“Kien’s going to be a great addition to EKO-System,” said Jim Nall, president and CEO of Paladin. “Having another programmer dedicated to EKO-System will allow us to significantly step up our development and implementation schedules. ”

Prior to joining Paladin Dang, a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer, worked as a CAD manager and software developer for more than 14 years at Envisioneering, Inc., a small-business engineering firm providing a wide variety of services and support to government and commercial customers. Some of Dang’s notable work there included managing the drawing conversion to AutoCAD for several buildings at Social Security Administration (SSA) headquarters and working closely with the SSA project officer to develop the SSA CAD Utilities, which is a core component of the SSA Architectural and Engineering design policies.

Dang was raised in Saigon, South Vietnam. He studied math at the University of Saigon for three years before he was required to serve in the South Vietnam Navy. He served as a Navy officer until April 1975 when South Vietnam fell to Communist forces. Dang came to the United States in 1990. He currently resides in Bremerton.

EKO-System is the first Web-based, integrated project management, database, and reporting system for natural resource managers.
