Greetings! Glad to be here.  
I am a developer and cloud application architect for World Wide Technology. I have put a lot of my focus on data streaming and of course, Kafka follows naturally from that.  
I am responsible for architecting data platforms for large companies.  
I am also responsible for helping manage the Confluent partnership with WWT and work closely with many people at Confluent.

Looking forward to participating in the community here!

Welcome! I’ve been to a few tech events at WWT, back when we could go to events. I hope to be back again!
