This week, Trinette Brownhill, a Distinguished Engineer at IBM, shared her experience using and advocating for Neo4j, a graph database technology. She was among the hundred attendees at GraphConnect this year and found time to chat with us about her journey with Neo4j. Trinette's background in data and her consulting work across industries made her perspective valuable, and she highlighted the ease of use and visualization capabilities of Neo4j as key benefits. As a result, she has seen surprising results from using Neo4j, including quick data analysis and demonstration capabilities. Trinette advises newcomers to explore Neo4j's resources, such as articles, blogs, cheat sheets, and toolkits, to get started with the technology. Looking ahead, Trinette believes that graphs will play a crucial role in representing connectedness and decentralization, and she thinks we need to figure out how to demonstrate this connectedness effectively.
