Hello, my name is Matt McArthur and I work at Cotopaxi wearing several hats. My expertise is in iOS development but I also do Android, front-end web, and some Python. My spirit animal is an Otter and my spirit pokemon is ninetails.

My name is Justin Carmony, I'm a software engineer and work for DeseretNews.com & KSL.com in Downtown Salt Lake City. I've been working with the Utah Open Source community in one method or the over for 8 years. I've always wanted to find a way to contribute open source code to solve hard problems the world is facing. If I can spend a few hours a week to change people's lives, then let's do it.

Skills to contribute are full-stack web development. PHP, MySQL, Mongo, Node.js, React, Redux, SaltStack, and lots of other things.

( Note IRC above is International Rescue Committee, not Internet Relay Chat. )

Howdy! I'm Jay Hannah from Omaha, Nebraska when I'm not wandering around in my RV. I'm mostly a large scale backend database / REST API type guy. Mostly Perl, some Python, Javascript, insert 50 tech buzzwords here. Looking forward to helping out. :)

Hi, I'm Kent Schaeffer. I work for Wells Fargo on the enterprise DDI (DNS, DHCP, IP Address Mgt) operations team as the workflow expert and Tech Lead. I develop mostly using Perl with REST API to Infoblox and other systems.

I'm very passionate about helping out refugees. I have volunteered with the ESLC (https://eslcenter.org) and LDS Humanitarian Center in teaching basic English to refugees from all over the world. I'd love to help any way I can.

My name is Jason and I'm excited to help find or develop technology solutions for refugees. I have experience developing web applications and designing systems at Intermountain Healthcare. Our standard stack is AngularJS, Spring, Java, Hibernate, and Oracle and most of my development experience is on the backend.
