A new Developer Advocate at Couchbase shares his background and journey, highlighting his extensive experience in web development since the early 2000s, primarily with Microsoft technologies such as .NET and C#. Residing in Grove City, Ohio, he balances his professional life with personal interests like family time, video games, and TV. Previously engaged with the developer community through blogging, screencasts, and conferences, he now focuses on connecting with Microsoft developers in his full-time role at Couchbase. Despite his familiarity with relational databases like SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and SQLite, he is eager to delve into non-relational databases. He encourages interaction from fellow developers, especially those who have insights or success stories with Couchbase or NoSQL technologies, while acknowledging his ongoing learning curve with Couchbase. He invites connections through various online platforms and offers to meet in person with those in Central Ohio.
