SP Digital will be hosting us once again this month, we will have two talks for May Clojure meetup, please refer to agenda below for details:-

Presenter:
Mike Anderson is a major contributor to the Clojure community, most notably as the author and lead maintainer of core.matrix. He is the co-founder of Datacraft, a Singapore based company specialising in advanced data analytics and machine learning. Previously, Mike has worked with multiple startups and as a senior consultant on technology issues at McKinsey & Company.

Mauro’s first approach to Clojure was in April 2012 when he bought the book Clojure Programming to learn a new language in a new paradigm, Functional Programming. After a couple of years reading about Clojure and making some small projects, he worked at Nubank, where he used Clojure everyday. He built codebase along with the team and now Nubank is one of the biggest Clojure codebases in the world. They are featured at cognitect.com as they use Datomic heavily.
