I was inspired by the company's product, people, culture, and opportunity after meeting with Evan Kaplan, the CEO of InfluxData. The time series space is a perfect fit for my background in real-time analytics, particularly with their leading time series database technology, InfluxDB. I'm excited to join a world-class team at InfluxData, which has seen fantastic customer and revenue growth through its unique open source distribution strategy. The company's executive team, including Evan Kaplan, is technical, passionate, and collaborative, making it an ideal place for me to contribute my skills and experience.
