- 17. Cameron McKenzie I'ma software engineer / architect and live in Hobart, Australia with my partner and our 5 1/2 year old daughter. I graduated from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1999 with a Bachelors of Applied Science (Computer Science) and have been working for Unico, a Melbourne based IT company, ever since. I've primarily worked in the Telco space, dealing with call handling and provisioning systems with high throughput requirements and 5 9's reliability. I became involved with Curator and ZooKeeper when implementing a system for coordinating application functions across geographically separated application instances. In my spare time I like to climb rocks and run up hills.
- 18. Scott Blum I'ma software engineer at Square, Inc since 2012, working on highly available system and infrastructure. I got involved with Curator and Zookeeper while working on shared systems for cluster-level leases, locks, and other coordination data that was previously kept in databases. Prior to Square, I was at Google for 7 years, where my main claim to fame is Google Web Toolkit (GWT) where I was the main developer on the Java-to- Javascript compiler, debugging environment, and JRE emulation libraries.

Curator RPC Proxy • Gives access to Curator to non JVM languages/environments • Organizations can unify their ZooKeeper usage across languages/environments (i.e. use Curator's Service Discovery recipe) • The quality of ZooKeeper clients for some non-JVM languages is lacking • There are Thrift implementations for a large number of languages and environments
