Helping Hands

Northbridge has been built and grown by our core team, with helpful support along the way from volunteers and collaborators. This page recognizes contributors and highlights what they helped build with us, with Maxi serving as our main software engineer guiding the work. We are proud of their contributions and wish them only the best for their future careers.
