Since stepping into a new role in the world of full-time Clojure earlier this year I have been almost entirely focussed on launching an ambitious new open source graph database that uses Kafka as the "unbundled" transaction log and provides bitemporal Datalog queries: https://github.com/juxt/crux https://github.com/juxt/crux Before I made this move, tinkering with Clojure and thinking about databases was just a hobby. I wasn't around when Crux was initially designed and built, but my primary job so far as the product manager for Crux has been to figure out how we make the most of all the ingenuity and effort that's already gone into it. I also wear many additional hats at the moment: leading the development team, managing community interactions, speaking at events/conferences, creating the marketing, and working on sales & strategic partnerships. This all keeps me incredibly busy but it is fun and it feels like the right thing for me to be working on and thinking about at this point in my life. I think of it like the perfect side-project that I am very fortunate to be able to work on all day long (and surrounded by excellent & talented people!).
