I'm excited to join Elementl as the lead engineer, where I'll be working on Dagster, a project that's revolutionizing data engineering. The company was founded by Nick Schrock and has assembled an incredible team of talented engineers, including many former colleagues from my time at Facebook. What drew me to Dagster is its focus on fundamentals, programming model, and integrations with other systems. These parallels with React, another project I'm familiar with, made it clear that Dagster is moving data engineering in the right direction and has a path to widespread adoption. With Elementl's rapidly growing community, production-ready OSS project, and upcoming commercial offering, I couldn't be more excited about joining this team and contributing to the development of Dagster.
