Adam works as a security-focused software developer at the Rust Foundation working on ecosystem security, especially around improving supply chain security for crates.io and Rust releases.

Professionally, his history includes stints as a developer at New Relic, deviantART, and Sourcegraph, while his open source work includes being a project member of Rust and PHP.

In his spare time, he plays cricket, kayaks, speaks Spanish extremely badly, throws tennis balls for his golden retriever, and tries to convince people that his Australian accent is actually flawless Canadian.

A generalist programmer with almost 20 years professional software engineering experience.

Picked up Rust around 2017. Contributions to open source and started using it for electronics projects in 2020 during the lockdowns. Trying my best to convince employers to invest in rust is a long running side-quest.

Heya 👋! Just like you I've spent time plenty of time dabbling with computers.

My current side project is an automation framework called Peace, which is my attempt to build automation with the eyes of empathy.

What got myself into software development was discovering how to modify a game called Little Fighter 2, and I was wonderstruck being able to make my game-self overpowered! After working with computers for a substantial period, I began learning to connect and communicate better with people, and try to put the fun back into what we do for work. One way I do this is to look for the people, and help the ones who help others.

My ever growing list of hobbies include running, art, creating soft toys, and piano.

Jonas is passionate about software-for-good, open-source, and cybersecurity. He previously helped make app development more accessible at Tauri. Now, he’s developing k23, a next-gen operating system. Outside of tech, he sings in classical ensembles and enjoys hiking.

Dr. Meghan Clark is a Principal Scientist, IoT Systems at Resideo Technologies, Inc. She has worked for over a decade on improving interactions with the built environment. Previously, she was a postdoctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley, where she worked on novel methods for capturing and visualizing wireless network traffic. Before that she completed her PhD in computer science from University of California, Berkeley with a focus on smart buildings. She received a Masters in computer science and engineering (and an unofficial degree in hacking things) at University of Michigan. Her initial exposure to embedded systems and networking work was at the Army Research Laboratory's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate, where she developed an interoperability protocol for converting proprietary sensors into plug-and-play devices, enabling rapid deployment of early-warning systems. Her work has earned several awards, including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Microsoft Graduate Women’s Scholarship, and the Rackham Merit Fellowship. Her work on mixed reality network inspection won Best Poster Award from ACM MobiCom 2022 and David Wessel Best Demo Award from CONIX 2019.

Hi I'm Mikey. ☀🌱🌙🐈💜

A veteran of the software industry with over 25 years of experience, Paul has seen it all. From computer security, web development, systems programming, distributed systems, databases, programming languages, and AI, he's run the gamut across many different industries; he enjoys the challenge.

In his spare time, he appreciates two wheeled vehicles, whether internal combustion or electric powered, and runs his own prototype manufacturing company.

Predrag has spent a decade working on query engines for almost every kind of data imaginable: from relational and graph databases to APIs and unstructured data files. He built Trustfall, a universal query engine that can query any data source(s), and cargo-semver-checks, a semantic versioning linter for Rust. He is the recipient of a Rust Foundation Fellowship for his work on cargo-semver-checks.

When not in front of a screen, Predrag enjoys skiing, ice hockey, and board games. He is also a huge space nerd. Ask him about the time he went to watch a giant rocket explode!

I'm an all-round software engineer, but I love building things. Things that have an effect on the world around us. A lot of my professional work is in the systems and embedded space. I also enjoy making TV, videos and film.
