Tomislav Čukelj
Danju web developer u Krikstudiju i student, noću čisti kod od bugova i čuva projekte sigurnima! Pravi se da zna nešto o dizajnu i JavaScriptu, no zapravo piše WordPress i Laravel ljubavne priče. Minimalist i modernist, skoro pa #hipster! Zagovornik promjena i novih izazova, puno sluša, malo govori. U rječniku uz “projekt” često se nalazi njegova slika.
Tomislav Negulić
Deveta godina da je dio CARNeta i to odjela za Podršku obrazovanju kao Stručnjak za edukacijske tehnologije. Uz sve sustave za upravljanje učenje na daljinu ili upravljanje učenjem koristeći mobilne tehnologije u “face to face edukaciji” WordPress mu je cijeli vrijeme paralelno u životu. Svo znanje koje ima vrlo rado prenosi dalje tako da vrlo često ga se može sresti ili po konferencijama ili po raznim radionicama po školama u Hrvatskoj. Teški je ljubitelj određene marke automobila i na ponekad nerazumljivivi način ostalima pokazuje sklonost istoj. Slobodno vrijeme koje mu ostane provodi uz dobar film ili knjigu.
