About
Semiologic, or semiotics, is the philosophical theory of signs and symbols in communication, having three branches: Syntactics, semantics, and pragmatics.
Semiologic — but not semiotics — is also an obsolete medical term for symptomatics. As for the Barthesian concept of Semiologic, it is in many respects the "symptomatics" of linguistic signs.
This web site's name, however, is a contraction of semio (as in meaning) and logic (as in solutions), or meaningful solutions.
As for the site itself, it initially was Denis de Bernardy's personal blog, and online collection of software and resources. It eventually turned into a real business, built around Semiologic Pro, a thriving community, and the team that follows.
Denis de Bernardy - Founder and CEO
I'm an entrepreneurial-driven IT consultant, with some understanding of psychology.
Lately, I've been involved in internet marketing and open-source software development, while traveling on a nearly full-time basis.
Before that, I've been working as a network engineer, as a software developer, and as a business developer.
A few years back, I was involved in research related to the making of and the adoption of beliefs — e.g. things related to marketing, management and behavior engineering.
I was consulting as business developer until I started running this site. Over the years, it turned into a full time job.
I'm the CEO behind all of this. Though, on occasion, you'll only find me in the background, shooting ideas at Mike and Larry. The Semiologic dream team — and its dream community — manages itself remarkably well
Mike Koepke - VP, Software Development
I am the Managing Developer at Semiologic leading the technical development team and am primarily responsible for product upgrades and new feature implementation.
I have been working with Semiologic since 2006. I have managed a team of software developers working on telecommunications equipment. I am based in Chicago.
Larry VanOsdol - VP, Marketing & Sales
I am an Administrator and the Design Manager for Semiologic. I am responsible for the business side of Semiologic in the US and am contributing to the documentation and support efforts.
Those of you who frequent the forums know me as Larry.
As the sole owner and only employee of a Professional Land Surveying company operating in Indiana and Illinois, I have extensive experience in programming and technical writing, in addition to the design and delivery of plans, plats and specifications for the development of residential subdivisions.
I now own and operate a graphics and website design business, called The Graphical Guru. Naturally, I use Semiologic Pro.
I now reside in Southwest Florida with my wife Julia and son, Adam.
