Jannis Pohlmann is the Co-Founder and Engineering Lead at Edge & Node and former Co-Founder and Tech Lead of The Graph. He is credited with inventing or creating many of its signature technologies and protocols. With more than 20 years of experience in software development, Jannis has acquired a deep knowledge of operating and embedded systems, Linux desktop soft- and middleware, fullstack web development, DevOps, blockchains, and decentralized systems. He is also an expert in open source and communities, making him an experienced and thoughtful leader. Jannis believes that decentralization can fix today's broken web by providing long missing incentives and putting individuals in control instead of corporations. He also believes that protocols such as The Graph will transform the way data is organized collectively and that the launch of The Graph Network is just the beginning of a protocol that is helping to power a new, better web.

Brandon Ramirez
Brandon Ramirez co-founded The Graph alongside Yaniv Tal and Jannis Pohlmann. As Research Lead, he designed the system-level architecture and economics of the protocol, as well as defining the product and developer experiences that are being used by The Graph's first users to learn and use the network productively. His prior experience as a product owner and software engineer on data-intensive applications (Excel, Mulesoft), his longtime interest in economics and behavioural science, and his academic experience in robotics and control systems have all influenced his approach to designing The Graph. Brandon believes the decentralized application stack is about to reach an inflection point that will unlock a Cambrian explosion of new applications built on public infrastructure. These applications will be unstoppable, interoperable by default, and will redistribute power from large tech platforms back to end users. The Graph not only enables this transition, but is also a case study in how a platform offering mission-critical functionality can be built and governed in a decentralized manner.
