Howdy everyone. \u00a0I’m in my third week here at\u00a0Couchbase<\/a>\u00a0in Mountain View, CA. \u00a0I’ve joined the developer advocacy team where I’ll focus mainly on Couchbase for Mobile<\/a>. \u00a0This will be my first official post, so allow me to introduce myself.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a bit of a technology wanderer. I started programming on my father’s HP calculator. \u00a0Since then I’ve worked on everything from Cray supercomputers, experimental parallel systems, on down to playing with Raspberry Pi. \u00a0I’ve even designed and built my own PC. \u00a0(To be clear, I designed the circuits back then. \u00a0Nowdays I just buy the parts!)<\/p>\n

On the software side, I’ve worked as a developer in scientific computing (hence the Cray), built products across a wide range of areas in computer security, did a stint in finance, and generally poke around in whatever I find interesting.<\/p>\n

Most recently I come from Samsung, where I led developer relations for mobile in North America. \u00a0I’ve gotten to see mobile evolve starting from the early days of Android. \u00a0It’s been amazing. \u00a0(Small confession: I held on to my black and white Nokia candy bar phone until after the second generation iPhone. \u00a0It took me a while to be persuaded!) \u00a0I have a collection of Android phones. \u00a0Some look like museum pieces, even though they’re only five or six years old.<\/p>\n

Depending on how you measure, mobile became the dominant way people access the Internet in the USA sometime around 2014<\/a>. \u00a0The bar for mobile apps has definitely risen. \u00a0In the world of NoSQL<\/a>\u00a0databases, Couchbase\u00a0has a strong mobile offering. I’m psyched to join Couchbase to work with developers to use this tech to build better apps.<\/p>\n

On the personal side, lately I’ve been spending a lot of time working in my yard<\/p>\n
