Working engineers, designers, and operators who ship code into our open-source projects. Every contributor signs the IEEE Ethically Aligned Design pledge. See all contributors on GitHub.
You?
Engineer, designer, writer, or operator? Join the build.
Partners
We work directly with operators on the ground. No abstract "partnerships" — real people, doing real work, on the same Slack.
- St. John's Soup Kitchen Newark — primary partner; tools deployed in-kitchen
- Megabyte Labs — engineering capacity (donated)
- GiveDirectly — reference model for radical transparency
Want to help build?
We ship every week. New contributors get paired with a real project and a Slack channel on day one.
