Hi) My nameās Max, 18, and I am a Computer Science student at University of Nicosia, currently on my 2nd year)
I picked mojo up on my birthday in September, and found it an interesting project for being both compilable and runtimeble)
The memory safety and types seem logical and fluid, once you take time to adjust coming from C++ thatās taught and Python thatās in our lazy parts of the brain)
Currently Iām figuring out networking in mojo and creating a little educational game 
Random fact: I 3d model to release stress

Hey Everyone,
Iām Dasor and Iām a Computer Engineering student (on my third year) I got interested in Mojo/MAX because a professor whom I work with told me about it and we are looking how we can leverage it in our HPC research group.
Right now, Iām running some benchmarks and seeing how MLIR is being used to provide the best speedups possible. Iām also looking forward to seeing how mojo will run on accelerators since is a big part of our research group.

Hi all!
I am Ivo, a retired software engineer, lecturer and writer of books on
programming languages. I find this language so fascinating since it was made public.
Iāve just started a book project for Manning called āMojo in Actionā. I am confident Iāll get/find expert answers here on all Mojo questions I could have in this project.

Hello Everyone! Iām Owen Hilyard, one of your volunteer moderators. Iām a CS PhD student focusing on hardware accelerated distributed systems, more specifically around accelerated networking and data movement. Iām also a former (I stepped down when I started my PhD) DPDK maintainer. I have fairly strong interests in accelerators (not in the ML sense, think more like Intelās QuickAssist), heterogeneous compute (CPU, GPU, FPGA, etc all working on one problem), databases and distrusted systems.

Hi there, my name is Mark and I am an iOS developer hoping to get into the world of ML. I am from South Africa and Mojo is my current obsession. Random fact: I am a gold medal-winning bagpiper!

Silicon Valley is fantastic! Might I also recommend āhalt and catch fireā? Itās a great computer-based show, on Amazon Prime I think!

Hi everyone! Iām Martin. I like building machines and making them do cool stuff. Iām a Mechatronics Engineer, but work as a data/ML engineer and business analyst. Iām aiming to contribute enough to Mojo for it to become the next-gen fusion of C and Python. And when I say C, I mean C not C++. I want Mojo to become the next infrastructure language that runs the world for the next 150+ years, and that means making it run doom on brain-cells if necessary

Hi Iām Jack Clayton, started off as a Modular community member very interested in Mojo, my day job was converting ML pipelines from C++/Python to Rust when Mojo was announced. The vision resonated with me so I built some learning resources, and then joined Modular as a Developer Advocate. After a year I transitioned onto the stdlib team, I love working on Mojo and helping to make GPU programming more accessible.

Hey everyone!
My name is Samay but you can also call me Sam. I just switched from being a manager for an ML Engineering team to a Principal ML Engineer at Zalando in Berlin.
I work on a repo that implements Apache Arrow in Mojo when I find the time: GitHub - mojo-data/arrow.mojo: Apache Arrow in Mojoš„
IMHO Mojo has a lot of potential to modernize the dataframe ecosystem and Iām here for it!

Hello everybody! My name is Manuel, and Iām an experienced (aka old) Python programmer who works building AI products related to real-time voice and Chat. When I saw the Mojo announcement I could not be more excited, so I started to contribute to the stdlib, mainly focused on improving the language ergonomics from a Python programmerās point of view. I am developing some third-party Mojo modules like mojo-websockets to hopefully unlock the power of RT APIs.
I am also interested in integrating Mojo into my company, especially when we can call Mojo packages from Python.

Hi everyone! Iām Bill, and Iām a Developer Advocate at Modular. You might recognize me from the video about Magic. I have a very similar story to @jack.clayton ā I was working on ML pipelines at my previous job, and Modularās message resonated with me, so I applied to work there. Iām really excited to show everyone what weāve been up to and help yāall learn about it. I live in Chicago, so any fellow Chicagoans on here, hit me up!

Hi, Iām Brian and I work on the MAX Engine at Modular. I just recently moved to Redmond a couple weeks ago 
. Funnily enough, I ALSO worked on ML pipelines like @billw and @jack.clayton in the past, but at a previous internship. I graduated from my masters program this year where I worked on multi-tenant GPU sharing. It was while working on that project when I felt the fragmentation of the existing ML ecosystem first-hand and learned about Modularās approach to tackling it!

hey all! Iām Shashank, an experienced Developer who works on building web apps.
I came to Mojo-verse from Jeremy Howardās demo, as Iām also a fast.ai student.
Iāve recently taken up sketching (Shashank Polasa (@shashankpolasa) ā¢ Instagram photos and videos)
Excited to learn and use the language that can go high level or low, as much as the problem needs.

Hey everyone! Iām Tyler, I work on the performance team here at Modular. Iāve been working on high-performance systems and advanced hardware accelerators my entire career, from IBM to Lightmatter and now at Modular. I take it personally if thereās any software in the world that runs faster than Modularās, so if you find any issues please feel free to send them my way!!

hey all! I am Andrei mostly working on cybersecurity type things for day job (Endpoint/EDR/XDR) and a whole bunch of personal projects in my spare time. Was hoping for a while someone would do Rust style features with Python syntax and better ergonomics so extremely exited about Mojo.
