Damien Riehl is a lawyer and technologist with experience in complex litigation, digital forensics, and software development. A coder since 1985 and for the web since 1995, Damien clerked for the chief judges of state and federal courts, practiced in complex litigation for over a decade, has led teams of cybersecurity and world-spanning digital forensics investigations, and has led teams in legal-software development.

Tim Bornholdt is a software architect, entrepreneur, and anecdotalist. He built his first website in the third grade and swore off programming forever by the time he hit college. After a brief fantasy of pursuing a career in television production, Tim was drawn back to the siren song of software engineering and became a co-founder of The Jed Mahonis Group, a mobile app development agency which builds iOS and Android apps for organizations like Great Clips, Sanford Health, and Little Free Library. He also helped lay the technical foundation for several fast-growing tech startups such as TurnSignl, Kwikly, and VSI Labs. Currently, Tim is the Chief Technology Officer at Bionic Giant, a creative agency that delivers agile and affordable solutions which help brands grow. He is also really into making technology understandable for everyone, and his current fascination is explaining how AI technologies like ChatGPT can help organizations solve problems (and, perhaps more importantly, how AI technologies *can’t* solve those problems).
