libraries of math algorithms,
performance optimization,

Programmer Pradeep Gowda
Pradeep has spent the past few years living a double life. By day, he's applied
machine learning techniques to detect credit card defaults, predict
debt recovery, and explore other large data sets for some of India's
largest businesses. By night, he's built Python web apps, run the
local Python users group in Bangalore, and given Python classes. Now
he's finally got the chance to combine the two. He currently lives
with his wife outside Indianapolis.
Programmer Kragen
Sitaker
Kragen is one of those people who just can't stop
programming. Back during the bubble, when most people were excited
about just having web pages that take credit card numbers, he was
building sites with AJAX and Comet (long before the terms had been
invented). His kragen-hacks feed regularly posts like "I
was stuck at an airport for a couple hours, so I
wrote a
real-time 3D rendering engine in JavaScript." He lives in Buenos
Aires.
Designer Rebecca Malamud
Rebecca started doing information design in the late 1980s and hasn't
let up. Gifted with both an incredible sense of style
and a breakneck pace, she's created designs for dozens of
sites, including Open Library,
public.resource.org,
Mappa.Mundi, and many more.
Founder Aaron Swartz
Aaron has been
building web applications for far too long. He
co-founded Reddit (since purchased by
Condé
Nast), Jottit, Open
Library, and theinfo.org. His
writing on technology and politics has appeared
in Extra!, Wired, Personal Democracy
Forum, and other publications.
We're funded by a generous grant from
the Sunlight Network, a
not-for-profit 501(c)(4) dedicated, like
the Sunlight Foundation,
to promoting the revolutionary power of the Internet to enable people
to become active citizens and create a government that is transparent
and accountable.
