Spotlight Employee: Simon Capper
Embedded Software Manager

After spending too many years in the telecom industry, I finally found myself at ooma. After hearing about the company vision, it took me all of 3.62 seconds to join. That was two years ago. Many crazy late-night sessions of fast-and-furious-coding filled with Red-Bull-and-pizza later, we ended up with the ooma Hub™… at once challenging, demanding and fun to build!

Reading the glowing feedback on customer surveys and positive reviews on Amazon.com gives me a great deal of satisfaction about what we’ve accomplished. We have a remarkably well-rounded team at ooma, and I look forward to developing new features in the months ahead.

I believe I still have a life, let me check, yes, it’s still there. In my “spare time,” I enjoy a family with two young boys. And, when I’m really good, I get to go skydiving. I think I’ve fallen about 5,000 miles from airplanes since the tick of the millennium, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! It’s one of the few things that really gets me out of work mode. Being a geek, I also enjoy sci-fi: My current favorites are Torchwood and Doctor Who.

Cheers,
Simon

P.S. I also like beer.

   Can I use Oooma in Canada?

   Good question! We’re currently updating our Terms & Conditions in response to customer demand on this very topic. So, for now, let me say that the ooma system has been designed to work in the US. At this time, we can only provide customers with US numbers.

   We can’t guarantee that all of ooma’s features will work outside the US, although we have heard from a number of people that it has worked quite well. Please note that certain restrictions apply when you use the ooma system abroad, for example, compliance with applicable local laws.

   For more information, please check our Terms & Conditions over the next couple of weeks. We’ll also be posting on the blog about this, so stay tuned!
