Maxime Bernard-Jacquet

I’m Max, from Grenoble, France.

I make websites with WordPress for 10 years now.
I work for myself and for some clients like Canal+

I’m also teacher at wpchef.fr, a french e-learning plateform for WordPress rookies.

I also work on others projects like xyoos.fr.
And sometimes I organise the Grenoble WP Meetup : WPInAlps

Jesper van Engelen

My name is Jesper van Engelen, and I’m a Dutch WordPress developer and computer science Master’s student. During the past 8 years, I have built my expertise in WordPress, both by working for clients and by contributing to the WordPress ecosystem. Until 2014, I was predominantly concerned with commercial projects, and I’ve had the pleasure to work for some interesting clients. Among others, I was involved in the utilisation of WordPress as a recruitment platform for a broad range of large Dutch and international corporations, such as the Dutch railways (NS). Over the years, I have always maintained a focus on the usability of the WordPress backend in the ever-broadening scope of WordPress as a CMS, which is where I believe an important part of WordPress’ attractiveness lies.

I’m a WordPress core contributor and plugin developer, authored, co-authored and contributed to several plugins across the WordPress spectrum. The most notable of these plugins is Admin Columns, in which I was involved as a co-author from 2013 through 2015. I am now an independent developer once more and still do some freelance work for Admin Columns, while at the same time studying at ETH Zürich for a semester as part of my Master’s in Computer Science.
