Ken Taylor has worked in software development and technology for over 15 years. During the course of his career, he has worked as a systems analyst on multiple software projects in several industries as well as with the state government. He has used RabbitMQ for messaging on multiple projects as a way of scaling and as an integration point. He is a member and speaker of the 757 Ruby users group and the Hampton Roads .NET users group (HRNUG). Ken holds an A.S. in Computer Science from Paul D. Camp Community College and was awarded a U.S. Patent for a Real Estate financial software product. He is currently working at Outsite Networks Inc. in Norfolk, Virginia. He lives in Suffolk, Virginia with his lovely wife Lucia and his two sons, Kaide and Wyatt.

I would like to thank my wife for her support while writing this book and my sons for reminding me of the importance of being inquisitive. Thank you Packt Publishing for asking me to participate as a technical reviewer for this excellent resource on RabbitMQ.

Ignacio Colomina Torregrosa is a technical engineer in telecommunications and a master in free software. He works as a PHP/Symfony developer and has had experience using RabbitMQ as a tool to optimize and improve the performance of web applications that deal with large amounts of traffic.

Hctor Veiga is a software engineer specializing in real-time data integration. Recently, he has focused his work on different cloud technologies (AWS, Heroku, OpenShift, and so on) to develop scalable, resilient, and high-performing applications that are able to handle high-volume, real-time data in diverse protocols and formats. Additionally, he has a strong knowledge of messaging systems, such as RabbitMQ and AMQP. Also, Hctor has a Master's degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the Universidad Politcnica de Madrid and a Master's degree in Information Technology and Management from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Hctor currently works at HERE as part of Global Data Integration team and is actively developing scalable applications to consume data from several different sources. HERE heavily utilizes RabbitMQ to address their messaging requirements. In the past, Hctor has worked at Xaptum Technologies, a company dedicated to M2M technologies.

I would like to thank my family and friends for their support. They showed me that giving up was not an option and that you just need to keep pushing. Also, I am greatly thankful for the opportunity I was given to live and work in a foreign country. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Steve Fosdal who has been my friend and RabbitMQ colleague during this journey.
