About
With more than two dozen years working in tech, I've done everything from first line support to CEO of a multi-million dollar company. I've served on corporate boards and volunteered at non-profits, worked as a founder, and survived more than 2 dozen "ownership changes" during my career. Along the way I've become a writer and international speaker on topics such as free software and managing web operations at scale. I've also contributed to numerous open source projects and communities, although I am probably best known for my work with Postgres, where I was recognized as a Major Contributor.
