  • Astrophysicist-turned-Programming-Language-Designer

    In my first week with the Data Programmability team, my new manager suggested I set up a bunch of introductory meetings with some of the team members. One of the very first of these meetings was with Software Architect Brian Beckman . I spent an hour with him and was totally blown away. This is Brian...
