Summary

Our blog series, Featured Tectonauts, highlights the amazing characters we get to interact with daily here at Tecton. I work as a Product Manager at Tecton supporting our Compute, Real-Time Serving, Data Observability and DevOps engineering teams, helping them build impactful products for customers. I was pleasantly surprised by the technical strength of our engineering team, which is higher than expected in a startup. Outside of work, I relieve stress by throwing balls with my two-year-old Golden Retriever, Maple. Interestingly, we can fit 9 helmets and various sports gear in our garage. The book "Why We Sleep" influences me to sleep more every day. I've taken long train rides, including a 14-hour flight to Tokyo and 2 hours to Sapporo for snowboarding.
