Brendan McAdams

Brendan McAdams is a polyglot programmer, who has spent much of his career in the financial sector - including building trading systems - and harbors a not-so-secret fascination with distributed and durable system architectures such as Akka. In his last role he served as the MongoDB Scala evangelist for 10gen; he also developed Casbah, the MongoDB driver for Scala, and architected the integration layer for MongoDB and Hadoop. Brendan now works within Typesafe’s Professional Services team helping Scala, Akka, and Play users better understand and deploy the Typesafe products.
