Hi, guys!

    I think that is very important to know each one focus and abilities in order to distribute the work in a way that everyone get experience in the field that want to improve.

    I place myself as coder. I have a little background in design but coding and creating architectures is my focus.

    I expect to learn from my mates and share all knowledge that I can. I know that probably my flaw is business skills, because I have only technical background.

    Critics of my job will be welcomed.

Thanks for starting this thread, Francisco. I place myself as copyeditor/designer/business who's learning to code on the side. This is one of my first times working with github, so please bear with me as I get the hang of the interface. :-)

OK. I place myself also as a designer/copyeditor/marketing with some
management and html/css front end abilities.

I propose each group flesh out answers to similar information:
such as...examples:

1. What is the pain point being addressed?
2. Define the market. Use S.Blank's market worksheet
3. What will the MVP provide for the customer? Define features as well
as benefits.
4. Hacking objectives
4a. backend
4b. frontend
others?

I'm a programmer.  My primary skills are with Python/Pyramid and Backbone.js but worked with Django for a few years as well.

I primarily do front end work but for my own projects I've dabbled in a bit of everything programming related. 

I am currently working with NodeJS a lot but have worked in Python/Django and PHP, and then everything front end related (JS/HTML5/CSS/DOM and UI/UX).

I like to call myself everything but a designer. For this exercise,
I'll try to be a coder dabbling in business.

As far as background, I started out in Systems Admin & Networking, but
I've been programming PHP/HTML/CSS/SQL for the last couple years. I
like PHP(no really) and JS, but love bashing around in Python too. In
my spare time I like tinker with old BMWs go to cool places.

I posted this somewhat in the two projects I'm interested in, but I'm
a generalist with regards to code, and I'm hoping to start
specializing in something to make my skills more marketable if I
decide to go freelance. I could leverage my IT skills but I'm leaning
towards development right now.

My college internship job was Linux sysadmin, mostly in the HPC
space. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science back in May.
Now I manage storage for a massive cluster infrastructure. I like web
development though so I'm trying to work on that some. I don't know
what tech I want to specialize in, or if I should go with mobile.

Actually, my official background is biz (about to close my first
raising) but I am also strong in design, branding, UX, marketing and
frontend dev with HTML/HAML, CSS/SCSS and JS/CoffeeScript. Have some
knowledge with GitHub and basic knowledge with Rails (would like to
get better there)
