About CodePen
CodePen is a playground for the front end side of the web. It's all about inspiration, education, and sharing.
Need to build a reduced test case to demonstrate and figure out a bug? CodePen is great for that. Want to show off your latest creation and get feedback from your peers? CodePen is great for that. Want to find example of a particular design pattern for you project? CodePen is great for that.
CodePen PRO takes things further with features like Collab Mode which allows you to pair program in real time and Professor Mode for allowing a group of students to follow you as you teach code and chat with each other.

The three of us met in Florida as we were the first three design/development hires at Wufoo. We then all moved to California when Wufoo was bought by SurveyMonkey, where Tim and Alex are DevOps developers. We are all equal co-founders of CodePen.
Alex Vazquez is a full stack developer. He does the majority of the JavaScript development for CodePen, both front end and back, as well as Rails and just about everything else.
Tim Sabat is a full stack developer but with more focus on back end. He does a lot of the Rails work for CodePen. He is also our server master and keeps CodePen fast.
