I'm a Technical Account Manager for Confluent, helping customers be successful in streaming use cases with Apache Kafka and the ecosystem around it. I've been a software developer and consultant dabbling in Web, Java, Databases, Search Engines, Messaging Systems, and anything else to solve problems for the end user. I like learning about new technologies and am interested in Big Data, machine learning, NoSQL, Internet of Things, Semantic web, etc. I try to sketch or draw in my spare time although technical things usually takes up most of my time these days.
