Get to Know Our Couchbase Community – Meet Joel Ruisi

This week we get to know Joel Ruisi, our Community Champion in Florida.

 

 

Cuéntanos sobre ti y qué haces en tu rol diario?
Joel: My typical day involves looking at a client’s data needs, and trying to find ways to take advantage of the data that they have. Using tools like Couchbase, I can quickly show them the value within their data.

¿Dónde tienes tu sede y qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre?
Joel: I’m based in Orlando, Florida. In my spare time I enjoy going to the beach and fishing. I have two sons (a 2- and 5-year-old) and a wife who pretty much take up any spare time that I have though.

¿Qué te hizo elegir Couchbase?
Joel: The first thing I noticed about Couchbase was how easy it was to set up and begin using. I’ve also done some benchmarks comparing Couchbase with other NoSQL competitors, and the results always have Couchbase coming out on top.

¿Qué has logrado usando Couchbase?
Joel: I have used Couchbase to cache slower data stores, for integrating multiple systems together, creating search applications, storing sensor data, etc.

 

¿Qué característica de Couchbase usas y qué debería saber la gente al respecto?
Joel: Not necessarily a feature, but I think some developers don’t realize the broad set of use cases that Couchbase can handle.

 

Si pudieras pedir tres deseos para Couchbase, ¿cuáles serían?
Joel: The only thing that would be nice to have when using Couchbase is the ability to do integrated full text search, but you all have taken care of that in an upcoming release, so I am happy.

 

¿Cuál es tu libro o autor favorito y por qué?
Joel: Don’t really have a favorite author, but I enjoy reading anything science fiction.
