Nathan Eliot is the founder of The Greenfield Guild. He named it such because he wanted his projects to build on fresh technical underpinnings rather than building into old architecture. He also wanted to create an internal environment that focused on learning and teaching like the apprenticeship process of a traditional guild. Throughout his tenure he has worked at companies like Bazaarvoice, Infochimps, and Steve Jackson Games, with an increasing focus on repeatable infrastructure and other agile practices. In his off time he enjoys role playing games, medieval war reenactments, bourbon and dancing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I do math, build models, gather requirements from customers, bang out code, crunch data, design cloud environments, fundraise, ideate business models, automate stacks, make tasty powerpoints, train AIs, sell deals, architect applications, & crack-wise. If you’ve worked with me, you know: I run 100% of the time on passion and I talk too much. I started out my career as a scientist, working on my PhD in statistical physics at UT Austin. I studied a variety of traditional and non-traditional systems, typically from the perspective of networks, transport, & thermal/statistical processes. The work got even more interesting for me when we started to plug in real-world datasets which led to a whole new life (and new obsession) of programming against huge amounts of data. I co-founded Infochimps while I was still at UT. We started out trying to bring great data to the masses but found success with a Big Data platform that we installed and managed for the Enterprise. Infochimps grew through great investors and amazing employees and was acquired in August, 2013 by CSC. At about the same time I became intensely curious about Bitcoin. In 2015, when I left CSC, I spent months going "down the rabbit hole" learning about and programming against Bitcoin. In 2016 I co-founded Unchained Capital, a financial services company building products for long-term cryptocurrency holders. Our first product was a BTC-collateralized USD loan which we launched in June, 2017, making us one of the first crypto-backed lenders in the US. We recently launched a "collaborative custody" solution which offers Bitcoin holders greater security without sacrificing their sovereignty. Check us out at https://www.unchained-capital.com ~~~

I first came across Infochimps as they set about building one of the early Data Market offerings. I recorded a couple of podcasts with CTO and co-founder Flip Kromer over the years, in 2009 and 2012, tracking some of the ways in which the company and the market were evolving. Since then the company has moved in a different direction, focusing far more attention upon the tools and services required to work with data, and far less upon offering a place for customers to find data. Infochimps was acquired by CSC last year, and dropped into the larger company’s big data business unit to accelerate it towards far greater market visibility and penetration. In this podcast, I talk with Infochimps CEO Jim Kaskade. We quickly cover some of the history, before looking in more detail at the ways in which Infochimps/ CSC can differentiate itself in an increasingly crowded market. A degree of technology agnosticism clearly helps here, and Jim talks about the way in which his team will help customers deploy any Hadoop distribution rather than being tied (as Cloudera or Hortonworks would be) to the home-grown offering. We also discuss recent investment in the space, with Jim noting that […]
