Summary

I joined Yugabyte as a DocDB software engineer in March and have been extremely happy with the decision, drawn to its positioning in a growing market as a marquee player in the distributed SQL space, embracing OLTP workloads at its core and being cloud-agnostic. I'm also motivated by challenging systems problems like concurrency, consistency, and durability at scale, impressed by Yugabyte's solutions to those problems using mature open-source software such as Postgres and RocksDB. The company's global database and global team, with a culture of collaboration and flexibility, have been a perfect fit for me, allowing me to work remotely while maintaining my life in New England.
