In this episode, we interview Logan Kilpatrick. Logan currently splits his time between a number of professional commitments he is passionate about. He is a full-time Senior Technology Advocate at PathAI, the Developer Community Advocate for the Julia Programming Language, and a Teaching Fellow for Harvard University's Extension School course CSCI E-33A.

Logan was previously an Applied Machine Learning Engineer and Software Engineer at Apple as well as the Community Manager for the Julia Programming Language. Additionally, Logan is on the Board of Directors at NumFOCUS and DEFNA. We started talking about the whole Julia Ecosystem with a particular focus on their pandemic response, touching a bit on the hot theme of the Metaverse. We spoke about why someone should use Julia with respect to other programming languages, mentioning some specific packages. We then switch to decentralisation/open source topics analyzing them ideologically, applicationally and financially. We then talked about Julia's future and the amazing interactions among Julia users. Given the background of Logan, we finally spoke about open science with NASA and the application of Julia in the aerospace sector, speaking also about PathAI, Logan's full-time company job.
