Meet the Pioneers

JAMES BALL

James is just as passionate about oscilloscope music as he is about giving artists free access to helpful tools. In a marketplace dominated by corporate products, Ball strives to create open-source audio plugins like osci-render that artists can use freely to spark innovation and creativity. 

ROTIMI BEST

Best is guided by the mission of making education accessible for all. His ambitious Classroomio project is an open-source learning management system (LMS) that strives to automate and enrich learning experiences in and outside the classroom.

ARMAN BILGE

Arman is a Scala superstar and a crucial contributor to the Typelevel Ecosystem, contributing to dozens of libraries, coordinating releases, updating build infrastructure, and more.

MATEUSZ BURZYŃSKI

Mateusz is a passionate bug-fixer and contributes heavily to several popular open source projects. His contributions to Microsoft’s Typescript are wide-reaching, and can impact many other companies like Codacy.

RYAN CURTIN

Ryan has been an open-source enthusiast and recently left full-time employment to focus on his open-source projects. He is the main contributor to the increasingly popular MLpack machine-learning library.

JESSE DUFFIELD

Jesse is known far and wide in the open-source community as “the lazy developer,” but he’s truly anything but. His lazygit, lazydocker, and many other projects are widely used and well-rated. Jesse is also a brilliant content creator—his “The Pursuit of Laziness” blog is a must-read for any OSS creator.

MAXIMILIAN HILS

Maximilian is part of the core team at Mitmproxy, a powerful, free, open-source HTTPS proxy. The software he’s building has been used to find countless security vulnerabilities, helped journalists at the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal uncover privacy violations, and helps thousands of developers save time debugging their network communication daily.

GEOFFREY HUTCHISON

Geoffrey combines his passions for science and technology to create innovative and helpful open-source projects. A chemistry professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Geoffrey has created an app that helps teach practical chemistry. He is also the founder and lead developer of Open Babel: The Open Source Chemistry Toolbox.

ALEXANDRA OGUBUIKE

Alexandra is a passionate web3 evangelist and a real positive influence in the open-source community. She is a Google WomenTechmaker and Product Pro ambassador at Consensys who offers mentorships to tech newbies.

GIOVANNI PELLERANO

SEBASTIÁN RAMIREZ

Sebastián is the creator of FastAPI and many other open-source tools used by developers worldwide and tech giants like Microsoft, Uber, Netflix, and Cisco. He is very involved in the OSS community and has been building APIs, machine-learning tools, and data systems with companies across the globe.

ARTEM ZAKHARCHENKO

Artem is a medical school graduate with ambitions to make open-source development his full-time gig. His MSW API mocking library for browser and Node.js, used by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and GitHub, could change how API testing works.
