Bibliopolis

Son of a bookseller, Mika worked at Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop in Boston while in college, then built his father's first online bookstore in 1999. He founded Foreseeing Solutions in 2005, grew it to about sixty booksellers, and merged it into Bibliopolis in 2012. His own collection is heavy on Philip K. Dick and mostly dystopian books, which he swears is a hobby and not a forecast.

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. During the dot-com bubble in the early 2000s, Bibliopolis housed his pet chinchilla in our Mission Street office.

Starting as a clerk at San Francisco's Green Apple Books in 1995, Luke spent a decade as a buyer and manager, spearheading the store’s first online efforts from a South San Francisco warehouse. He taught himself to code to build Green Apple’s first website and, eventually, many others. In 2005, he joined forces with BookHound™ to form Bibliopolis. He also calls himself an occasional poet, which in its current form means publishing one or two poems a decade.

Allen grew up in the rare book business with his grandparents, Allen and 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.

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 is not fiddling with computers he is shredding the guitar or working on his van.

A tech-savvy mom of twins, Madhuja holds both a Master's and a Bachelor's in Computer Science. When not coding she is wrangling her boys and showering love on her dogs, and somewhere in there she finds time for music.
