Ryan Frazier

James Carlson
James Carlson worked for many years as a math professor. Since he retired an undisclosed number of years ago, he has been dabbling in functional programing, mostly Elm, but also (lately) some Futhark, a functional language that compiles to optimized GPU code. He is trying to learn type theory, which combines philosophy, logic, mathematics, and functional programming. What more could one ask for? His main contributions to Elm are the jxxcarlson/elm-tar and minilatex packages. The function of the latter is to parse a subset of LaTeX and render it to HTML.

Katja Mordaunt
Katja is a developer with neontribe.co.uk where she mostly makes web apps that aim to improve the reach of small charities. She works iteratively with clients and users to get as close as possible to what people need. Her choice of tools (apart from vim and linux) depends on the project, but she often writes APIs in php and frontends in React (when she has to) and Elm (when she can). She values community, open source, transparency, itegrity, generally sharing stuff and giving everyone a voice. She hopes every day to contribute towards sucking a little bit of despair out of the world and adding a lot of empowerment. In a past life she produced independent films and is a believer that sharing stories makes the world a better place.
