Blake (https://github.com/blakeembrey) is the creator of Typings (the way we managed external TypeScript types before @types) and ts-node (the thing we use to run server-side TypeScript, and should really stop using in production). In his free time, Blake herds cats and kittens.

William (https://github.com/williamngan) created PTS as a way to do creative coding and data visualization in a typesafe way. Check out the demos on the site (https://ptsjs.org) -- they're seriously cool. Fun fact: William goes by "William".

Sergey (https://github.com/blacktaxi) built Focal (https://github.com/grammarly/focal) to manage React state in a typesafe, reactive way. Sergey is into purely functional programming, Elm, elk 🦌, and belts 🥋.
