Objective

Grant Nestor is a serial #entrepreneur, open-source #software-developer, and a Core Developer at Project Jupyter where he's a Co-Lead of the Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter Lab team. [1] Nestor is also the founder of Hammies Shorts; an apparel company reinvigorating the corduroy style popularized in the 1960s by surf and skate communities in Southern California. [2] He was the Chief Architect of MythOS; this Nonlinear Communication platform.

I met Grant, also known as Chief Morningwood, at Burning Man in 2016 when his tent was one away from mine at Swing City. Even on the playa, we quickly discovered a shared resonance for building cool products and later had a Rub-A-Dub-Dub moment that cemented the bond.

Grant is a #burner, #motorcyclist, #surfer, and generally fantastic human.
