For the last twenty years I have worked in technology filling positions as a CEO, CTO, Director of Engineering, software developer, tester, and network engineer. Since 2001 I have worked primarily on web applications. From late 2005 to 2010 my primary focus was Ruby on Rails and the Linux server stack. In the fall of 2005 I went back to school to finish up a degree in computer science at Columbia University. During my time there I pursued interests in machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing and search.While in school I continued my professional growth by getting involved in the New York Ruby community and speaking at professional conferences. I completed my degree at the end of 2008 and have been working feverishly ever since.I've written a book (Service Oriented Design with Rails), recorded instructional videos (Working with Big Data), organized over 100 meetups (NYC Machine Learning), founded a startup as its CEO (InfluxData), went through Y Combinator in the winter of 2013, started the open source project InfluxDB, and raised institutional money for the company behind InfluxDB from Bloomberg Beta, Mayfield, Trinity, and Battery ventures.
