Matthias Kirschner is President of FSFE. In 1999 he started using GNU/Linux and realised that software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Matthias is convinced that this technology has to empower society not restrict it. While studying Political and Administrative Science he joined FSFE in 2004.

He helps other organisations, companies and governments to understand how they can benefit from Free Software -- which gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software -- and how those rights help to support freedom of speech, freedom of press or privacy.

In his spare time, he has written the book "Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream", which is translated in over 30 languages and meanwhile also available as a movie.

Michael is a trainer and consulting software engineer who helps product teams develop Python software in the cloud. He enjoys deleting code more than writing it and is constantly looking for new ways to improve developer experience and the maintainability of software.

Michael has been enthusiastic for free and open-source software since his teenage years and published his first project in 2006. Nowadays, he maintains the pytest-asyncio library. In his free time, Michael dances Shuffle or struggles with a hardware project.

Michal Karzynski is a graduate of the University of Gdansk and the Medical University of Gdańsk. He was involved in research and development work at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and the Technical University in Gdansk. He recently worked as a software architect and data scientist for Intel, specialising in applying neural network models to the domain of sound processing. He is currently acting as the CTO of a new stealth startup, hoping to make it big.
Michal is a frequent speaker at programming conferences and a chairman of the Operators Special Interest Group, part of the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) standardisation committee.

I’m Miguel Ángel, a Machine Learning Engineer and applied researcher with a background in Computer Engineering and Mathematics. I work at the intersection of computation, artificial intelligence, and real-world systems, using Python both as an engineering tool and as a medium for understanding complex ideas.

My work spans the full lifecycle of intelligent systems: from rapid prototyping and experimentation to production-grade ML services, data pipelines, and scalable APIs. I’m particularly interested in applied language models, ML platforms, and building systems that are reliable, measurable, and maintainable over time.

Outside of production work, I use personal projects as a space to experiment, learn, and build systems end to end — often at the intersection of technology, people, and real-world constraints. These projects range from AI-powered communication tools and real-time data applications to developer utilities, educational initiatives, and research work in computation and logic.

I’m driven by curiosity and by problems that sit at the boundary between theory and practice. Whether building ML systems, exploring computability, or creating tools with social impact, I aim to transform complex ideas into clear, useful, and meaningful solutions.
