Dr. Philip Jones began his career studying physics at the University of Oxford, where he undertook his undergraduate studies and subsequently gained a doctorate in particle physics. He has authored the Quart framework, maintains the Flask framework, and supports the ongoing development of a number of other projects related to the Python HTTP stack. Currently, he works as a chief technical officer in London, and in his spare time, you will find him cycling or walking his dog, Penny.

I would like to thank my friends and family for their continued support and encouragement throughout the process of writing this book.

Sunil Kumar is a passionate and energetic young man who is following his dream of changing the world with technology. He graduated from one of the top engineering colleges in India with a BTech degree in computer science and has years of profession experience. This experience includes backend development using Quart and Flask frameworks, and frontend development using ReactJS, along with queuing systems such as Kafka and RabbitMQ. Nowadays, hes working with FinTech companies helping to drive the change in the Indian economy and rethink debt collection systems.

Dr. Murray Hoggett worked in academia for 10 years researching climate change and volcanoes, specializing in numerical and stochastic simulations. Since then, he has worked as a software engineer on projects ranging from embedded systems and native apps to web apps and ML systems. He is currently team lead at TrueCircle, building Python and JavaScript web apps for the recycling industry.

Matt Dawson got his start in the tech industry working as a photographer/surveyor for a PropTech start-up. He developed an interest in engineering, and after graduating from Makers Academy, he took a job as a full-stack engineer specializing in Python and TypeScript.

He now works as an infrastructure engineer, seeking a better understanding of how to deploy and scale applications that he was already able to build. He chose this due to his desire to understand the product as a whole, building on his strong foundation in backend/frontend principles.

Matts love of tech is drawn from a strong curiosity to try new things and to constantly strive toward new levels of understanding, as well as his firm belief that anything can be made better.

Manuela Redinciuc is a full-stack software engineer from London, currently focusing on expanding her backend expertise at Lifeworks. She comes from a non-technical background and enjoys mentoring and helping others transition into tech roles.

Dr. Stuart Hannah is a professional software engineer living and working in London. He has extensive Python experience, holds a Ph.D. in combinatorics from Strathclyde University, and enjoys working on performant distributed systems.
