NOTE TO RECRUITERS: 1. I'm very happy at Datastax, and am not looking for other opportunities 2. If you still think I should hear about your opportunity, know that I live in Portland and am not interested in re-locating. If you have a remote opportunity, it needs to be with a mostly distributed team, with a great company culture around making that work . Datastax is an excellent example of this. About me: I like solving problems. Especially in startup environments, or areas where there are unknowns requiring R&D and pragmatism. Of late I've also really enjoyed working on developer tools and services that help enable other engineers.
