Leading Waku's R&D efforts is Franck Royer. Royer draws on more than five years of experience within the blockchain and crypto ecosystem, and over 13 years as a software engineer and team lead with a primary focus on backend development for mission-critical applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The core contributors building Waku are split into three subgroups:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Waku Research
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our research efforts are led by a former telecoms engineer with almost a decade of experience, and supported by a post-doctoral research engineer who specializes in communications networks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Waku Development
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku's development arm is broken down by client implementation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- nwaku: The team building nwaku, our implementation in Nim, comprises two software engineers with more than two decades of combined experience within the fields of backend development, open-source development, artificial intelligence and finance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- js-waku: Our JavaScript implementation is developed by a senior and intermediate software engineer, one with extensive experience in the web3 sector and another who previously worked with renowned tech companies, such as Microsoft and Ubisoft.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- go-waku: Building Waku's Golang implementation is a senior software engineer with almost 15 years of experience, including five in web3.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Waku Outreach
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ensuring that Waku attracts developers and users is the Waku Outreach team. It comprises a developer relations engineer and a technical writer. Both members are steeped in web3, having previously worked with Wallet Connect and Unstoppable Domains, and regularly presenting on the crypto conference circuit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Waku is looking to expand the above structure and currently has openings for core contributors. As an open-source public goods project Waku also welcomes community contributions.
