Agentic systems for what comes next.
Sign up for updates:
We are a small team of veteran builders led by Wes McKinney. Kenn is building a new stack of development and knowledge systems for the agentic era.
Software engineer who works across systems programming, developer tooling, and analytics. Phillip has solved hard problems in digital video, Rust, computer vision, and Python-native CUDA APIs. He was for many years a prolific contributor to open-source analytics tools like pandas, Arrow, and Ibis. These days he spends much of his time building with AI.
Influential open-source data systems developer, entrepreneur, and angel investor, focusing on data processing, developer tools, and community building. Wes started the Python pandas and Ibis projects and co-created Apache Arrow. Once upon a time an AI skeptic, he is now "all in" on agentic engineering and AI-powered application development.
Experienced craftsman working at the intersection of AI, software, and infrastructure. Marius has built data systems across ad tech, health tech, backend data architecture, and open-source infrastructure, usually close to the places where reliability and scale start to matter. Across conda and conda-forge, he has helped to steer the ecosystem and to turn messy packaging problems into tools developers rely on every day.
