About the reviewers
Matthew Williams is a (mainly) backend Software Engineer generally working in Java or Kotlin, who has dabbled in Go. Regardless of the language used, he is a proponent of Domain-Driven Design, Test-Driven Development and occasionally, Frustration-Driven Development. Originally a University of Birmingham Computer Science classmate of the author, he has spent time working across both the public and private sectors in the UK and Australia. Working for the likes of the Science and Technology Facilities Council, SAP, and Tyro on domains including scientific research proposals, e-commerce, and payments, the need to understand and use the language of the domain has always been clear.
Chris Shepherd is currently employed as a Systems Engineer building large scale, highly-available and robust distributed systems. He has worked within software engineering for more than seven years, the majority of which have been dedicated to writing Go. He has worked for both big-name companies, such as IBM and Cloudflare, and fast paced, hyper-growth startups, spanning across many different industries, including finance, cybersecurity, and the public sector. He received a BSc in Computer Science from De Montfort University and is currently employed by Cloudflare, where he designs, develops, and maintains highly scalable event-driven microservices in Go.
