Abdelrahman is an open-source enthusiast and a Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies. He created vee-validate and villus for Vue.js, writes about Vue, TypeScript, and GraphQL, and loves sharing what he learns through talks, videos, and the "Untyped" podcast.

Aki Rose is an engineer and consultant frequently shepherding technical standards. She has nearly three decades of programming experience in a wide range of industries, with a focus on free and open-source software and industry's relationship with it. Aki is the special rapporteur for the harmonised EU standard for VPN cybersecurity conformance with the Cyber Resilience Act, and an active contributor to several additional CRA standards.

Now part of the MongoDB Database Experience team, Anna has previously been one of the most active contributors to Node.js core. She is fueled by a passion for Node.js and its community, and loves sharing what she learns both during and outside of working hours.

Antoine is an open-source maintainer who works as a Node.js Technical Steering Committee member, focusing his work on the Release Working Group, security, and performance. He also maintains the Node.js packages for the Nix ecosystem.

Brian is a Principal Engineer active in the open source community. A father of four boys, he juggles roles like developer, bald curmudgeon, and coffee drinker. Brian maintains the Node.js website, organizes Grace Hopper hackathons, and wrote Approachable Open Source, the missing manual for newcomers and veterans alike. He enjoys woodworking, soccer, milkshakes, and pickleball.

Bryan is a Node.js and Rust developer with 18 years of professional experience, currently working on APM (application performance management) at Datadog. He's a Node.js core contributor and collaborator, and a co-author of Multithreaded JavaScript, an O'Reilly book.

Claudio is a Platform Engineer at HubSpot, where he helps maintain part of the frontend infrastructure. He is also a Node.js core collaborator working on the project's developer experience and infrastructure, co-chair of webpack's Technical Steering Committee, and a voting member of the OpenJS Foundation. He previously contributed to the GNOME Foundation.

David Mark Clements has been writing JavaScript since 1996. A Node.js contributor since version 0.8 (2012), he's the original author of Node Cookbook and led the OpenJS Node.js Certifications program, helping shape how the industry trains and validates backend engineers at scale.

Today David is driving one of the most ambitious bets in modern infrastructure: peer-to-peer computing as a production-ready paradigm.

Fabrizio is the lead storage engineer at Supabase, where he builds and scales the multi-tenant storage system behind millions of uploads and requests a day. His background is in distributed systems and media processing and delivery, and he is a long-time Node.js and Go engineer.

He is happiest inside highly scalable architectures and distributed storage systems — the kind that have to keep working while the workload underneath them grows by an order of magnitude.

Filip is an open-source maintainer who implements and contributes to Internet Standards across identity, cryptography, and JavaScript runtimes. He maintains widely used libraries for OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, JOSE, JWT, JWK, and HPKE, and contributes to standards processes at the IETF, OpenID Foundation, and W3C. He is a Node.js core collaborator and Technical Steering Committee member, focusing on node:crypto and Node.js' Web Cryptography API implementation.

Guy works on the Workers runtime at Cloudflare. A long-time Node.js collaborator, he did much of the work behind the ES modules implementation in Node.js, and is the author of SystemJS and a co-author of jspm — a decade of pushing on the unglamorous problem of how JavaScript modules actually load.

His current focus is the boundary between WebAssembly toolchains and JavaScript runtimes: what it takes to run code that was never written with an event loop in mind.

James is a Principal Engineer at Cloudflare, a long-time Node.js core contributor and TSC member, and an active participant in the Web Interoperable Runtimes Technical Committee (WinterTC) at ECMA.

Lois loves databases and has worked a lot on bundlers — funny how everything is connected.

Luca is a Senior Software Engineer at Nearform, a Google Developer Expert, a former Microsoft MVP, and a Codemotion and GitKraken Ambassador. He loves JavaScript and TypeScript, and spends his free time studying new technologies, making YouTube content, and writing technical articles.

When he is not doing any of that, he is trail running in his beloved Dolomiti.

Marco is a Senior Security Engineer at HeroDevs. Active contributor, releaser, and member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee, he is a renowned international speaker and a former Microsoft MVP. Marco is involved in many projects across the Node.js ecosystem and also serves as a delegate in TC39.

Marina is a Frontend Tech Lead at UNIwise, where she leads the team behind WISEflow's frontend. She led its migration from a mix of jQuery, AngularJS, and React into a fleet of independently deployed React microfrontends, standardized on a single Node-based build stack.

Now she spends most of her time arguing that tooling investment is a feature-delivery strategy, not a tax on it — and, more to the point, proving it with numbers.

Mikola is a Principal Software Engineer at Socket, where his work focuses on software supply chain security: detecting malicious packages and fixing vulnerable ones. An early and prolific contributor to the JavaScript open-source ecosystem, he created scijs/ndarray, the de facto multidimensional-array primitive for numerical computing in JavaScript, and helped build the stack.gl ecosystem of composable WebGL modules. His earlier work spans graphics, computational geometry, and data visualization, and his blog 0fps.net is now classic reference material for graphics and game developers.

Néstor is a software architect at Zephyr Cloud and a core contributor to Module Federation. He specializes in microfrontends, edge computing, and distributed systems, contributing to open source and sharing his work through articles, talks, and workshops on modern software architecture.

Paolo is a Node.js TSC member, Principal Engineer at Platformatic, and polyglot developer. RPG and LARP addicted and nerd on a lot more. Surrounded by lovely chubby cats.

Rafael is a Principal Open Source Engineer at NodeSource and a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee, where he works full-time on the Node.js runtime with a focus on security and performance. His work spans runtime internals, benchmarking, and secure system design, with contributions to widely used tools in the Node.js ecosystem.

Robert Nagy, CEO and co-founder of nxtedition. A frequent contributor to various open-source projects including Node.js and CasparCG. Node.js TSC member, heavily involved with the Node.js core stream and http modules.

Stephen is a Node.js core contributor, founder of the diagnostics working group, and a compilers and runtimes nerd.

Tamar is a software developer, manager, and architect with a decade of engineering experience across server side, big data, mobile, web, and security. She is currently focused on Node.js, with deep knowledge of Node.js server architecture and performance optimisation.

Yagiz is a member of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee and a Member of Technical Staff at xAI. Most of his open-source work is about making Node.js faster where it counts: he wrote the Ada URL parser that now powers Node's URL implementation, and has spent the past several months cutting per-request and per-header overhead out of the HTTP server path in core.

He is a firm believer in measuring before optimizing, and in shipping performance wins without asking anyone to change a line of their code.

JavaScript and Web enthusiast, pushing web security to the limit building LavaMoat and Endo. Zbyszek started using Node.js at v0.8 and never stopped. He enjoys innovating and teaching security, diagnostics, and maintainability, is one of the oldest members of the meet.js Poland community — both as a speaker and organizer — and, most recently, a TC39 noobie.
