Adam Vermeer
programmer, working on creative programs and tools
I am a programmer currently writing Clojure on the backend team at Metabase.
I come from a mechanical engineering background and love spending time experimenting with new ways to write small CAD applications and tools, and I love working with my hands and making things.
If I’m not at my computer or workshop of some kind, I’ll be running, cycling, or climbing somewhere outside. -

Ben Kamphaus
Principal Machine Learning Engineer at Noetik
Ben has been working at the blurry boundary between software engineering and data science for more than a decade, focusing on scientific problems whenever he could get away with it. He’s worked with Datomic both from the inside and outside, and has used it in anger in many different applications, especially as a part of distributed data analysis and machine learning systems. When not developing software he practices and teaches Judo, produces music as PatternShift and Hadamard Gate, and writes science fiction (as Benjamin Kamphaus).

Philip Cooper
CFA, PRM, Founder Openvest Research
With over 30 years of Investment Management experience,
Mr. Cooper is an experienced Systems/Product developer in the Fintech space. After 10 years as a Portfolio Manager in an Investment firm that grew from $5 million to $10 billion of equity assets under management utilizing the APL programing language, it was time for an upgrade. Systems were updated to use Matlab, R, and some python for the “practical bits”. Ever since the very early development of NumPy (circa 2003) all development has been performed in Python.
Multi-year development projects were developed including risk (CCAR/DFAST) and Operational risk at a Tier 1 bank and Top Ten NY Hedge fund.
Mr. Cooper has worked as a consultant for Anaconda and has assisted multiple organizations in their pivot to or expansion of the use of python.
In the last five years he has increasingly moved toClojure/ClojureScript development. Now, after leaving a large hedge fund, a hard pivot to all Clojure development has taken root. -
