Felienne is assistant professor at Delft University of Technology, where she researches programming for everyone. Her research has focused on the application of software engineering methods to spreadsheets and to programming for children in Scratch.

Einar W. Høst is an unapologetic ivory tower zealot who does domain modelling and computer programming at NRK. His heretic views include thinking before programming and making drawings to understand things better. This arrogant mindset no doubt stems from years of isolation from the real world while obtaining a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Oslo.

James is a member of the ThoughtWorks Technical Advisory Board, the group that creates the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar, he contributes to industry adoption of open source and other tools, techniques, platforms and languages.

For the last few years he has been working as a coding architect on projects built using microservices; exploring new patterns and ways of working as he goes. He rather likes the fact that he got to describe his take on things jointly with Martin Fowler in an article that is influencing how people see the future of software architecture.

In short, he’s a bit of a loudmouth on architecture, programming, organisational design, lean product development and regularly speaks internationally on these and other topics. He's quite keen on hanging out with his family, playing lego with his kids and painting Warhammer miniatures, because nerd.
