Guy Archibald: 10 Years at KEYSYS

by

A Decade of Growth and Dedication
This year, we’re celebrating an incredible milestone for one of our most valued team members, Guy Archibald. Guy joined KEYSYS in August 2014, at a time when we were still a small team working out of our first Cahaba Heights office. Over the last 10 years, Guy has evolved from a front-end engineer into a senior full-stack software engineer, playing a pivotal role in our growth and success.

From Front-End to Full-Stack Excellence
Guy started his career at KEYSYS with a strong background in front-end development, but his passion for learning quickly pushed him to expand his skill set. One of his standout achievements was leading the development of The HudsonAlpha Institute’s game, Filtered. Combining his expertise in 3D animation with his software engineering skills, Guy created an innovative educational tool that was named Educators’ Pick for Best of STEM in 2023.

A Silent Hero
While Guy’s technical skills are impressive, his quiet leadership is what truly sets him apart. His colleague, Russell, shares:

“Guy is the kind of person you want on your team. He’s persistent, smart, and doesn’t shy away from tough challenges. He might not seek attention, but his contributions are vital to every project he works on.”

Mentor and Team Player
Guy’s influence extends beyond just his technical contributions—he’s also a natural mentor. His willingness to help others, share his knowledge, and guide junior engineers has fostered a collaborative, growth-driven environment at KEYSYS.

What Guy Loves About KEYSYS
When asked about what he enjoys most about working at KEYSYS, Guy says,

“It’s a great place to work because everyone genuinely cares about each other. The flexibility to work remotely has been a game-changer for me, especially when I moved to Fairhope.”

Guy is a conscientious, dependable teammate with a great work ethic who gives encouragement with ease. KEYSYS has benefited greatly from his progression from a junior front-end developer to being a highly-skilled senior software engineer. It’s been a joy to be a part of his growth as a professional, husband, and dad.
