Maven

* ma·​ven |  \ ˈmā-vən Merriam-Webster defines Maven as “one who is experienced or knowledgable.” The origin of this word comes from the Yiddish word “meyvn,” meaning “expert, connoisseur,” which was derived from the Hebrew word “mebin,” meaning “a person with understanding, a teacher.” 

As experts in our fields dedicated to sharing our knowledge, there is no better word to call our practice and methodology.
