Meet Our Djangonaut Space 2025 Session 4 Teams
We're excited to introduce the dedicated individuals who make up this session of Djangonaut Space. From core Django to specialized areas like django CMS, Debug Toolbar, and Accessibility, these talented contributors bring diverse skills and backgrounds to our community.
Venus Team - Django

I'm a software engineer based in Jakarta, Indonesia (GMT+7) with a strong interest in databases and ORM. I was a Djangonaut in Session 1 of Djangonaut Space and later returned as a Captain for Session 4. When I'm not coding, I enjoy swimming.

Neptune Team - Django Debug Toolbar
Navigator: Matthias Kestenholz
I have been working with Django since 2008 and on Django basically since then. I have been publishing and maintaining open source software all this time, mostly to address problems we face at the agency I have been working at all this time. I am more involved in the community since starting to help with django-debug-toolbar maintenance in 2016.
I studied environmental science with a focus on climate science and meteorology, but pivoted to web development because I'm convinced that I personally can help generate more impact this way than when doing even more climate science.
Apart from that I like gardening, mountain biking, listening to music. I live in Zurich, Switzerland with my wife and two kids.
