Since the age of 10 I’ve always been passionate about computers. I’ve been working with them ever since. In 2005 I got my degree in computer science. After 5 years of being a MySQL Consultant at Pythian I decided to join PlanetScale to help support enterprise customers running Vitess (vitess.io) and PlanetScaleDB (planetscale.com).
