The Tech Lead encourages and reviews contributions from community members and provides leadership in technical decisions made about the direction of the project. She is also responsible for mentoring / providing guidance to other developers. 

The technology lead should demonstrate a user-needs bias, considering that P2PU is not primarily a tech project, but a social learning project - enabled by technology. The entire P2PU community relies on this website, appropriate features, availability and scalability are key concerns.
