# Meet the New Ginzas

I’m happy to say that Ginzametrics is no longer a one-man band. Over the last month, two new hackers have joined me, making us a band of three. I’m going to do longer intros and fill out our bios on the site when I get a chance, but I briefly want to introduce Nick Allen and James Somers.

Nick is a Common Lisp (and now Rails) hacker from Berkeley, with experience at two different startups in the Netherlands, Poland and India. Just prior to Ginzametrics, he was responsible for multi-million dollar projects building mobile networks for the Defense Industry.

James is a Rails hacker from NYC with a voracious appetite for mathematics, philosophy, economics and literature. Previously, he was the CTO at BookTour.com and also writes for [The Atlantic](http://www.theatlantic.com/james-somers).

You’ll start to see Nick and James on this blog regularly and the three of us are already making massive improvements to Ginza. More to come!
