About

As a technologist excited about open source database systems and the businesses that they power, I am enthusiastic about efficiency through automation, Operational Visibility, the adoption of Cloud Technologies, and Virtual/Augmented reality enabling #RemoteWork by default.

I work for #Google as a Developer Advocate for their Database Cloud services
