Fabian develops Go services and enhances the CI system at Simplesurance . He especially likes to work on low-level Linux applications. Go, C and Python are the languages of his choice. In the past he contributed to the RTRlib and IBNBD open source projects.
Brian is probably most widely known for his role in the Go community: co-organizing Gophercon, co-hosting the GoTime.FM podcast, and co-authoring Go in Action for Manning Press. He's been programming since he was 10, starting on a TI-99 4A. His broad background includes roles as a DBA, Developer, CIO, and nearly everything in-between. Brian built his first custom Linux distribution in 2007, which was used by colleges and companies like IBM to make developing with Ruby on Rails easier. Biggest contribution to Open Source: SkyDNS, which powers service discovery in Kubernetes.
