<p><img src="{% static "images/team/sam.jpg" %}" alt="Sam Kitajima-Kimbrel" class="team-headshot">Sam is a Python developer and distributed-systems "enthusiast" hailing from Seattle by birth, New York by nurture, and the Bay Area by choice. Five years ago he attended his first PyCon US and hasn't been able to break the habit; after making the jump from audience to stage in 2014 and speaking regularly at events around the world, he was thrilled to join team when invited by Chris and Josh. Sam currently works at Nuna building healthcare data infrastructure for the U.S. Medicaid and Medicare programs and resides in Oakland with his husband Kameron.

<p>We acknowledge that our small team has limited perspective, and that to build a truly inclusive event, we need to seek the perspectives of a diverse range of people. We thank the following people and organizations for providing us with advice along the way.</p>

<ul>

  <li><a href="https://twitter.com/vavroom">Nicolas Steenhout</a> is helping us with accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities.</li>

  <li><a href="https://twitter.com/vmbrasseur">VM (Vicky) Brasseur</a> is helping us run an excellent call for proposals, design our office hours program, and support new speakers with speaker training.</li>

  <li><a href="https://twitter.com/sigje">Jen Davis</a> is helping us make the event accessible to parents by advising on things like childcare.</li>
