After some 15 years with commercial databases as consultant, Sales Engineer and in many other roles, I joined MySQL in 2004 to work as a Sales Engineer. In 2010 I decided I needed some more technical experience, so I join Recorded Future as database Architect. After 2 years with that, I realized I missed the close customer contacts and decided to join SkySQL, again as Sales Engineer.
In 2014 SkySQL completed the merged with Monty Program, creating MariaDB Corporation, which is where I now work as a Principal Sales Engineer.
