César Del Solar, software architect

César basically wrote the software for this. He likes writing software and does it for a living as well. When he’s not writing software, he likes biking, playing music, and frying up some chicken thighs. He also likes playing Scrabble, although nowadays, it kind of plays him instead.

Insert picture here lol

Jesse Day, data scientist

Jesse does the hard data science for this, doing data analysis on millions of completed games, helping to come up with parameter values, some complex algorithms, and the machine learning component. He has finished runner-up at the World Scrabble Championship twice, and is the North American Scrabble Champion (in the Collins lexicon, I am obligated to add).
