Eileen Burbidge
Eileen started working with the Flattr team in February 2010 and doesn't get to enjoy the fatboy office chair because she is based in the UK. Out of London, Eileen is also a co-founder of White Bear Yard, a hub for technology innovation and start-up teams.
Leif Högberg
Leif is our resident code ninja and the go-to-guy with questions regarding integration. An adventurer at heart, Leif is constantly struggling with his desire to escape the office in favor of the lush landscapes of the Caribbean, Africa or Indochina. He is passionate about the environment and animal rights.
Pelle Wessman
Pelle is working part-time as a "social media advisor" or what-you-wanna-call-it. He knows Drupal as few others and is skilled both in integrational issues as well as the actual code needed for it.
Joel Hansson
Joel joined the team in August 2010. He has previously worked with both Ruby and PHP and is actually using linux on the desktop, favors the vim text editor.
Per Thulin
Per comes from a game programming background and has experience running his own company. Per thinks that Flattr will play a big part in the future of the music industry, and at nights he works on an open source music player called Youtify.
Simon Gate
Simon is the newest member of the team. Loves wasting time hacking away on some open source project and if you don't find him online he most definitely will be rock climbing and bouldering around the world.
Maria Runeson
Maria has the core function of the economics and administration in the team. She loves processes and organizational planning, almost as much as making graphs and overviews. If this is made out of a fast moving and chaotic melting pot, she certainly feels being in the right place.
