I’m Dr. Martin Kleppmann. I do various things:
- I am an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, working on local-first collaboration software and distributed systems security.
- In 2017 I published a book for O’Reilly, called Designing Data-Intensive Applications. It covers the architecture of a broad range of databases and distributed data processing systems, and it is one of the best-selling titles in the publisher’s entire catalogue.
- I am a regular speaker at conferences, and recordings of my talks have been watched over 500,000 times.
- I have worked on various open source projects including Automerge, Apache Avro, and Apache Samza.
- Between 2007 and 2014 I was an industrial software engineer and entrepreneur. I co-founded Rapportive (acquired by LinkedIn in 2012) and Go Test It (acquired by Red Gate Software in 2009).
