I am from Belgium and have been involved in open-source at different levels for over a 15 years.

One of the things I enjoy the most is sharing knowledge with others. And this is why I enjoy writing tutorials as well as giving talks and workshops.

I'm a software developer who loves learning and teaching.

I love making people happy with the help of data:)

Founder, Don't Use This Code
Board Chair @NumFOCUS

I am a mathy salesman co-creating experimentation culture at Vinted. I try to be useful and curious, read widely and try new things. My aim is to be useful not just as a science-entrepreneur and a citizen, but also as a mentor or mentee. 🥳

Juan Luis (he/him/él) is an Aerospace Engineer with a passion for STEM, programming, outreach, and sustainability. He works as Data Scientist Advocate at Orchest, where he empowers data scientists by building an open-source, scalable, easy-to-use workflow orchestrator. He has worked as Developer Advocate at Read the Docs, previously as software engineer in the space, consulting, and banking industries, and as a Python trainer for several private and public entities.

Apart from being a long-time user and contributor to many projects in the scientific Python stack (NumPy, SciPy, Astropy) he has published several open-source packages, the most important one being poliastro, an open-source Python library for Orbital Mechanics used in academia and industry.

Finally, Juan Luis is the founder and former chair of the Python España association, the point of contact for the Spanish Python community, former organizer of PyCon Spain, which attracted more than 800 attendees in its last in-person edition in 2019, and current organizer of the PyData Madrid monthly meetups.

I still have a toy snake on my work table

I started my career as a data scientist 7 years ago. Organisation I was working in was making first steps towards data science and I was one of a few ones to make those steps. I spent more than 3 years leading data science team and mentoring people who wanted to become data scientists. Currently I am working as a Head of Data at SME Bank.

I like everything from hairy backends to cognitive neuroscience. Been part of this weird world of professional software engineering for a while.

I remember an interesting defining moment in 2013 in Munich where working as a GSoC intern at Tor, I overheard a conversation where a person from Syria was sharing how they rely on certain software to make sure they're not persecuted by their government which actively oppresses activists. They were like, "yeah and you could improve usability in this place, that would be great, but otherwise yeah, appreciate being alive, you know."

Tech-wise, I like both low-level security-focused engineering as well as HoTT. I guess I can thank my background in Computer Science and Philosophy for my pretentious eclectic tastes. To paraphrase my personal hero Moxie Marlinspike, I'm both fascinated and scared by technology and what it can do.

I currently lead software architecture at ZealiD where, originally, I work as a Software Architect.

Now I believe technology is harming humans and we should all stop programming.

Peter is the CEO & Co-Founder of Vizzu.

His primary focus is understanding how Vizzu's innovative approach to data visualization can be put to good use. Listening to people complaining about their current hurdles with building charts and presenting them is his main obsession, next to figuring out how to help data professionals utilize the power of animation in dataviz.

Peter has been involved with digital product development for over 15 years. Earlier products/projects he worked on cover mobile app testing, online analytics, data visualization, decision support, e-learning, educational administration & social. Still, building a selfie teleport just for fun is what he likes to boast about when asked about previous experiences.
