Marina Kuran began designing health care software in 1983 while working as quality assurance coordinator for the Department of Family Medicine, University of California, Davis Medical Center where she also conducted primary and secondary research.  However, her interest in digital imaging took over some years ago and remains her primary computer passion when she isn’t collaborating with Bryan.  Marina is proficient in Microsoft Windows®, Microsoft Office® , and Adobe Photoshop® CS2, and is the "behind the scenes" person who handles operations for Computer Novocaine.

Bryan Smith is a Microsoft Certified Professional and has been working on computer software and hardware professionally for the past ten years.  From 2000 to 2002, he taught "Project Management for IT Professionals" and "PC Troubleshooting and Repairs" while working as a contract trainer for SkillPath Seminars.  When he’s not developing clinical and business software he and Marina repair computers and dream of ways of using computer technology to make life easier for folks like you.
