  When exploring Web frameworks for an independent study project in the fall of 2008, Tim discovered Django and was lured to it by the documentation.

  Tim works as the Django Fellow and lives in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, PA, USA.

• Tobias McNulty

  Tobias' history with Django began in 2007 when he co-founded North Carolina-based web development firm Caktus Group. He quickly fell in love with the framework, largely due to its Postgres affinity, and has been a persistent advocate for the framework, both within Caktus and more broadly, over the years.

  Since discovering Django, Tobias has helped organized several Django sprints in his former home state of North Carolina, is a regular mentor at Django Girls events in Washington, DC, and can still be found attending the sprints following Django-related conferences. He's contributed a number of smaller tickets over the years and is the co-author and chief advocate for the messages framework that arrived in Django 1.2.

  Tobias is a prolific blogger and occasional speaker on Django-related topics. His interests include deployment and (particularly database) performance.

• Tom Christie

  Tom has background in speech recognition, networking, and web development. He has a particular interest in Web API design and is the author of Django REST framework.

  Tom is now working on Django REST framework full-time, backed by a collaborative funding model.
