Nic Raboy has been recognized as a Couchbase Community Champion due to his contributions as a Developer Evangelist in the maps and location industry, where he creates demos for various platforms. Based in Tracy, CA, Raboy enjoys spending time with his family, working on his side projects, and playing video games in his spare time. Despite being a former Couchbase employee, he continues to use the product for its reliability and relevance, particularly appreciating N1QL, Couchbase's SQL-based query language for JSON. He has created tutorials integrating Couchbase with other technologies and expresses wishes for Couchbase to expand onto IoT hardware, offer a cloud solution, and modernize its SDKs. Additionally, Raboy prefers consuming information through online blogs rather than traditional books. The Couchbase Champion program is open to those actively engaging with the community through forums, meetups, blogging, and speaking at events.
