Bio: Worked at Basecamp, Segment, Confluent on Kafka/Cloud. Author of Distributed Services with Go.

Twitter: travisjeffery

Location: Canada

I'm a Canadian software maker that's hacked on open source projects like Jocko, Timecop, and Mocha; and built several startups from the ground up, including Segment and Confluent.

I've mostly worked at new startups, working on many problems: distributed systems, infrastructure, back-end, front-end, mobile, tooling. I prefer distributed systems, infrastructure and back-end applied to big data problems.

I authored a book on building distributed systems using Go, published by Pragmatic Bookshelf. The book walks you through building a distributed commit log from scratch, step-by-step, from nothing to deployment.

emacs-nav

Nav is a lightweight solution for Emacs users who want something like TextMate's file browser, or the Eclipse project view. Unlike these two, Nav only shows the contents of a single directory at a time, but it allows recursive searching for filenames using the 'f' key-binding, and recursive grepping of file contents with the 'g' key-binding. Nav can be run painlessly in terminals, where Speedbar either fails on its attempt to make a new frame or is hidden. Nav's terminal-friendliness comes from running in the frame where it was started, keeping window management simple. The Nav key bindings are simple, as well -- each key command is a single keystroke long.
