Hello! I'm Matt, alum of Team 5940 BREAD and Northeastern class of 2024 for Mechanical Engineering. My contributions to wpilib center around controls, and I helped write (along with @calcmogul , @cttdev , @pietroglyph , and @prateekma ) the state-space code that recently got merged, as well as the upcoming pose estimators and physics simulators. I also work on PhotonVision. |

Hey Matt! I'm also CO' 2024, only at WPI. I have a bunch of friends at NEU though. Do you happen to know Daniel Simpson, Nathan Kadria, Evan Gaus, or Tom Khuu? I know it's a big school, but I'm curious. |

Whoa, the GitHub discussions beta. Hi! I'm Davo. I mentor team 4774 (@thedropbears) and help develop @robotpy. I'm also a maintainer for @first-rust-competition, but development there has been slow lately due to lack of free time. My contributions to WPILib largely circle around bugfixes for bugs I've encountered as part of development efforts to those two projects, but I occasionally review PRs here too. |

Hello! I'm Prateek, former President and current alum of Team 5190, Green Hope Falcons. I'm currently attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and planning to double major in Computer Science and Mathematics (applied). My contributions to WPILib include geometry, kinematics, trajectory generation, and other miscellaneous items related to wpimath as well as CMake and Gradle. I've also helped @mcm001, @calcmogul, @cttdev, and @pietroglyph in developing the state-space controls library by translating some parts of it to C++ and writing tests. |

Yes. 1000x this! Hi! I'm Bryn, I am not (yet) a contributor, but have been lurking and subscribed to the torrent of commit messages and trying to make sense of all the code changes to WPILib and frc-characterization. I am the programming mentor for team 2930, the Sonic Squirrels. I'm relatively new to FRC (rookie year was 2018). I have years of experience programming and building distributed systems using Linux, but am new to robotics. There is a communication gap between what get's posted on Chief Delphi and the github commit message stream. I've been left wondering if there's some secret Discord channel where everyone hangs out and discusses what to do next. I have so many questions for you all. |

👋 I'm Tyler Veness. I'm an alumnus from FRC team 3512 and their software/controls mentor ever since. I manage all the controls contributions to WPILib and help a lot with API design.
A lot of us are in the FRC Discord (https://discord.gg/frc), and the #programming-discussion channel is basically #wpilib-discussion nowadays. At the moment, we've been pushing for simulation support given the state of the world, and state-space is the physics backend for that. |

Hi! I'm Claudius, current VP of Engineering on FRC Team 604 Quixilver. I am currently attending Leland High School in San Jose California. Like Matt and Prateek, my contributions to WPILib are typically to the controls libraries. I helped develop the holonomic drive controllers, and have been working with @calcmogul, @prateekma, @mcm001, and @pietroglyph on writing the model-based controllers, state estimators, and physics simulation classes for the state-space library. |

Hiya, I'm Dalton Smith 👋 , an alumni from FRC Team 66 where I was the former Team Captain for 2 years. I created and currently maintain the frc-docs project, as well as coordinate the effort involved for the various custom sphinx python extensions the documentation uses. Iterating again on what @calcmogul said, a lot of us lurk in the FRC Discord #programming-discussion channel. |

Hi! I'm Peter Johnson. I mentored FRC Team 294 for nearly 10 years before fully focusing on WPILib. I first got involved with WPILib while beta testing the 2009 (cRIO) control system, and I was both an alpha tester and a beta tester for the 2015 (RoboRIO) control system. I created RobotPy in 2010. My major contributions to WPILib include the NetworkTables rewrite (ntcore) in 2016, an improved CameraServer (cscore) in 2017, the FRCVision Raspberry Pi image in 2018, and the Simulation GUI in 2019. I also maintain the builds for the C++ cross-compilation toolchains and the OpenJDK build for the RoboRIO, and maintain the wpiutil library. |

I'm a little late to this, but I am here a lot, I'll introduce myself as well. I'm Evan Pratten. I mostly lurk around here, although I spend a lot of time reading through code, and I look over every single pull request to seek out new features and undocumented functionality. I am the lead developer of @frc5024's core software library, https://github.com/frc5024/lib5k. Lib5K is a Java library designed to run alongside the very latest releases of WPILib, which means that we inevitably end up beta testing things by accident 😆. I used to also maintain a bunch of scripts for running the FRC development environment natively on Chromebooks using developer mode, but no longer own a Chromebook to work with. |

Hi! I'm Declan. I'm a (recent) alum of FRC team 4915 and current student at Olin College of Engineering. I'm planning to major in either electrical and computer engineering or robotics engineering. I first got involved contributing to WPILib because I had contributed a lot to the frc-characterization project when it was part of RobotPy and continued to contribute when it became a WPILib project. I try to fill the question-answering and code review gaps for that project when @Oblarg isn't available. I've contributed some code to the trajectory generator, but my other most significant contributions are to the recent modern controls addition. Although I've touched most of the code there, my main contributions are around the EKF, UKF and sensor fusion wrappers (along with continued debugging 🙃.) I also have a general interest in computer vision and camera handling. I've worked with cscore, and I still have some contributions around H264 to finish there that got de-prioritized due to COVID. I also contribute to PhotonVision, with a specific emphasis on frontend work and GPU acceleration. |

Extremely late but better than never. My name is Grant Perkins. I am an FRC 190 alum and mentor, and I've been with WPILib for the last 3 years. I have been focusing on the machine learning side of things, but I am starting to branch out more now. I'm a WPI student, class of 2024, majoring in computer science. My main project is DetectCoral, the machine learning backend for Axon, the ML react app. |

Also really late to this :) I'm ZQ and am the coach of FRC team 354, and I joined the WPILib team earlier this year. I worked with @jpokornyiii on building out the Romi software (which was an offshoot of a series of workshops we did for some of our corporate sponsored teams), and also work a little bit on the WPILibPi image (mainly around adding support for Romi features) |
