Speaker: Matthew Squire

Matt is an engineer and technical team lead who has spent the past five years building distributed and reactive software using Scala, Akka and Kafka in many domains including advertising, price comparison, biometrics, and IoT applications. He's a fan of property-based testing, microservices, and message-driven architecture and he likes to use his background in natural computation, a field of computer science that studies how living things compute, to understand how distributed systems work at scale.
