The following is a conversation with Travis Allefund, one of the most impactful programmers

and data scientists ever.

He created Numpi, SciPi, and Anaconda.

Numpi formed the foundation of Tensor-based machine learning in Python, SciPi formed

the foundation of scientific programming in Python, and Anaconda, specifically with

Konda, made Python more accessible to a much larger audience.

His life work across a large number of programming and entrepreneurial efforts has and will continue

to have a measurable impact on millions of lives by empowering scientists and engineers in

big companies, small companies, and open source communities to take on difficult problems

and solve them with the power of programming.

Plus he's a truly kind human being, which is something that when combined with vision

and ambition makes for a great leader and a great person to chat with.
