Our Story
Bibliopolis is an independent technology provider specializing in e-commerce and inventory software for booksellers of all kinds.
The People
Our founders started out on the bookselling side of things, turning to technology as a tool to sell books. Every member of our team has a genuine connection to books and bookselling, some second and third generation. That's not an accident — it's one of the main reasons booksellers have trusted us for more than 25 years.
Chief of Technology
Son of a bookseller, Mika worked at Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop in Boston while in college. He developed his first online bookstore in 1999 for his father. In 2005 he formed Foreseeing Solutions, building online bookstores for dozens of booksellers, before joining Bibliopolis in 2012. He collects dystopian literature. View his collection here.
Lead Developer
The linchpin of our development team for a quarter century now, Mat’s proficiency in front-end development, combined with years of wrangling bookseller data, is the stuff of legend. His enthusiasm is fueled by a fascination for electronics and a love for unusual and lovable creatures. In fact, during the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s, Bibliopolis housed his pet chinchilla in their mission street office!
Front Office
Starting as a clerk at San Francisco's Green Apple Books in 1995, Luke spent a decade as a buyer and manager, spearheading their first online efforts from a South San Francisco warehouse. He taught himself to code their first website and, eventually, as booksellersolutions.com, many others. He also calls himself an occasional poet — publishing one or two poems every decade or so.
Project Lead
Allen grew up in the rare book business with his grandparents, Allen & Patricia Ahearn, of Quill & Brush. Working in their bookstore, he developed a love for reading and an appreciation for collectibles. When not supporting Bibliopolis clients, he enjoys writing and playing music.
Senior Engineer
Attracted to technology from an early age, Matt graduated with a Bachelor's in Interactive Media Design. For more than 15 years, he has helped Bibliopolis shape the tools of the trade. When he's not fiddling with computers, he's shredding the guitar or working on his van.
Software Engineer
A tech-savvy mom of twins, Madhuja boasts both a Master's and Bachelor's in Computer Science. When not coding, she's wrangling her boys and showering love on her dogs. With boundless energy, she effortlessly juggles tech, family, and canine companionship, all while indulging her passion for music.
Our company is growing
Our experienced development team, support staff and their combined century in the book trade are primed for the next 25 years.
