          <h5>About Andy</h5>
          <p>
            Andy is a postdoc at the University of Utah, currently working on malware
            detection in Android Apps, using both Scala and miniKanren to write abstract
            analyzers in Matt Might's lab. Andy completed his Ph.D. at Indiana University,
            defending his dissertation, "A Nanopass Framework for Commercial Compiler
            Development", in December 2012 and will be presenting a paper related to this
            work at this year's International Conference on Functional Programming. This
            project focused on replacing Chez Scheme's compiler with a nanopass compiler,
            along with his adviser R. Kent Dybvig. Before returning to graduate school in
            2007, Andy worked in industry as a web developer, first for the consulting
            firms Razorfish and Gotham Broadband, along with some independent consulting
            work for Viacom, and later worked full time at Teach For America, maintaining
            both front-end and back-end web applications.

            functional and array-based programming. He's deeply familiar with the
            challenges of building a cloud-based, enterprise data platform (he
            currently works at Appian Corporation, in the DC area, doing exactly
            that). In his free time, he's been figuring out how to solve some of
            those challenges using Clojure &amp; Datomic.

            software development through the coincidence of mandatory C++ classes that
            formed part of her Music Technology degree. Since then she has found herself
            working on numerous technologies, environments and languages but is happiest
            when that language is Clojure.

          <h5>About Michael</h5>
          <p>
            Michael O'Keefe conducts modeling and simulation of engineering systems
            and develops engineering tools and simulators with emphasis on energy
            efficient buildings, advanced vehicles, and renewable energy
            systems. Michael has recently started his own company called ImagineMade
            whose goal is to reduce the complexity of modeling and simulation of
            energy intensive systems. Michael also works half time with Big Ladder Software,
            a Denver based small business that creates and supports open source software
            tools for designing and modeling energy efficient buildings. In his spare
            time, Michael administers the ADVISOR (TM) advanced vehicle simulator
            open-source project originally developed while he was at the National Renewable
            Energy Laboratory (NREL). Prior to working for Big Ladder, Michael worked for
            over 10 years at NREL, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory located
            in Golden, Colorado. At NREL, Michael assisted in the modeling and simulation of
            advanced vehicles, developed metrics for vehicle driving profiles, and conducted
            research on power electronics cooling and reliability for electric vehicles.
            Prior to joining NREL, Michael worked briefly at Nippon Steel Corporation in
            Chiba, Japan and speaks Japanese fluently. Michael did his undergraduate work in
            Mechanical Engineering at Northern Arizona University and received his Master of
            Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle,
            Washington.

          <h5>About Russ</h5>
          <p>
            Russ likes to think that the technology is there to solve problems
            for people, not the other way around.
          </p>
          <p>
            Russ started his career doing that other kind of engineering, the
            sort that involves electricity, gears and getting dirty. Pretty rapidly
            the wonder of computer programming lured Russ away, which probably
            explains why most of his fingers are still intact today.
          </p>
          <p>
            Since turning to coding, Russ has worked on everything from 3D design
            and image processing software to database query engines and workflow
            systems. Russ first discovered Ruby back in 2000 when he went looking
            for a simple programming language to teach to his son. The seven year
            old lost interest, but Russ never did and he has been building
            increasingly sophisticated systems in Ruby ever since.
          </p>
          <p>
            Russ also spends a fair bit of time promoting Ruby via public speaking
            and he helped found RubyNation, a regional Ruby conference held each
            Spring in Northern Virginia. Russ has also written extensively about
            Ruby in the form of two highly regarded books: The first, Design
            Patterns in Ruby was published in 2008 and is a complete reworking
            of the classic Gang of Four patterns for a modern dynamic programming
            language. Russ's second book Eloquent Ruby is a guide to writing
            idiomatic Ruby. Eloquent Ruby was an instant hit in the Ruby and
            Rails community when it was published earlier this year.
          </p>
          <p>
            Russ also has been secretly enamored with parentheses since a very
            early age and lately has been dabbling in Clojure.
