Our Team

Within our team of 13 members, we are organized into 5 generalized groups working close together while still being independent in our own work. Our three technical cohorts are the Build Team, Design Team, and the Software Team. Our two operation cohorts are the Outreach team and the Business Team. Although members are in a certain cohort they are not limited to that skill area, members may work closely with other cohorts but specialize in one.
