Aditya Athalye

Hi! Computationally, I identify as a Clojure-brained, mostly-functional, org-mode enjoying, grug-brained, generalist programmer. These days, I blog + think + work at evalapply.org. I’ve been Clojing since 2013, at work and/or as a hobbyist, and have lurked in the public Clojureverse for about the same time. I love teaching the language and ideas therein, and have had the chance to do so at various conferences (IN/Clojure, FunctionalConf, LambdaWorld), local meetups, and in-house for staff training. And I try to share / give back in the spirit of a self-directive called “Learn Generously”. So, I am happy to make myself useful, here at SciCloj Light! May The Source be with us.

Kiran Kulkarni

I’m Kiran Kulkarni—a data nerd who believes in making decisions with gut and validating with data. I began as a Linux Kernel developer, then built high-scale backend systems in Clojure and big data pipelines that processed TBs data daily in Python. I’m passionate about building high-quality products, high-performing teams, scalable architectures, and insightful data systems. Also, I love street food and traveling to explore street food.

Lorelai Lyons

Lorelai is a technologist and artist exploring the intersection of neuroscience, programming, and ethics. With a background in music and philosophy, she brings a unique perspective to data science—blending curiosity, critical thinking, and creative expression.

She’s active in the Clojure community as a board member of Clojurists Together, a member of Clojure Camp, and an organizer with SciCloj. Lorelai is currently focused on developing accessible tooling for brain-computer interfaces, advocating for ethical neurotechnology, and making brain data more approachable for developers of all backgrounds.

Adham Omran

Backend developer and data analyst specializing in Clojure. I build the API for iData, an Iraqi platform enabling data-driven decision-making. Passionate about Clojure’s data analysis ecosystem.

A backend developer with a passion for crafting efficient, scalable systems and uncovering valuable insights through data analysis. With experience in Clojure, Datomic, R & SQL, I specialize in leveraging its functional programming paradigm to build robust architectures that solve complex challenges with elegance and precision. Beyond development, I bring a strong focus on data analysis, using advanced methodologies to process, interpret, and visualize data in ways that empower decision-making. My ability to bridge backend development with actionable insights sets me apart as a versatile and impactful contributor to any team or project.

Daniel Slutsky

Daniel Slutsky is a mathematician and a data science consultant. His current main focus is at the Scicloj group. There, he is involved in community building and co-maintaining a few of the Scicloj tools and libraries. His approach towards open-source communities is drawn from his past experiences in various activist groups and his involvement in local yoga communities.
