Earlier than Rockset, I ran world gross sales engineering for a competitor within the real-time analytics house that commercialized Apache Druid, however Rockset thinks about fixing knowledge analytics issues in another way. That’s why I’m right here. I imagine Rockset does three issues higher than anybody else on this market.
First, it reduces time to market by fixing a posh drawback in a quite simple method. Discuss to any knowledge architect and they’re going to bemoan the complexities of designing and re-architecting a knowledge pipeline. Rockset believes your knowledge doesn’t want to vary and needs to be ingested straight in a matter of minutes. No pre-joining, flattening, or pre-aggregation wanted.
Second, it reduces the barrier of entry to knowledge science as a result of our engineers are regularly automating a lot of the info science and knowledge structure workloads. Rockset’s platform permits enterprise leaders to get actionable insights from their knowledge on day one with no need to know these questions upfront or to tune these responses later.
Third, it saves cash and reduces danger by offering a consumption-based, cloud-native answer. There is no such thing as a must arrange a heavy native infrastructure and workers it with a staff of knowledge platform engineers. Pay for less than what you employ with out an upfront dedication.
Individuals and Tradition
Mix that product imaginative and prescient with some really wonderful folks coming from Fb, Google, Stanford, and extra. The engineering expertise right here is insane! They honestly care about listening to from the sphere and enhancing the product, usually in a single day! And the collaboration amongst engineering, product, gross sales, and advertising and marketing means we evolve at lightning pace. Rockset has their HQ only a 20min drive from my home, and I’ve to confess, it feels good engaged on a whiteboard once more! Teamwork is ingrained in our tradition, we care about folks’s challenges and are fast to leap in to assist recover from a hurdle. Once we put our minds collectively, once we collaborate, once we coach each other, it’s like we’re in a single boat rowing in the identical course.
When onsite, seize lunch with the SREs (who know the greatest ramen spots in San Mateo) or evaluate bike trails in Crystal Springs Reservoir with Venkat, our CEO. When you like snowboarding I do know a pair engineers who’re heading as much as Lake Tahoe this week. Work exhausting, play exhausting!
Gross sales
Roll again the clock to 2015 once I joined AppDynamics, a frontrunner in utility observability (Cisco acquired AppDynamics for $3.7B in 2017). This was my first pre-sales position and I used to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, devouring their confirmed gross sales methodology that had propelled the AppDynamics rocketship. With foundations in MEDDIC and 3Whys, it was extra concerning the calibre of our folks and the tradition of teaching by means of teamwork, underpinned by a maniacal deal with buyer success. It was there, within the February 2015 onboarding boot camp, that I met Ryan Treasured, who now runs our world gross sales, and we have now the chance to convey our collective expertise to a brand new rocketship and a brand new wave of bright-eyed bushy-tailed future leaders.
Private
I stay in Woodside, California with my girlfriend, Marissa, and we each stay a wholesome way of life (quickly to be extra lively with the addition of a pet). We’re avid hikers, campers, bikers, and have began fly-fishing on the Eel and Russian Rivers. Even after leaving Michigan’s wooded Higher Peninsula (“da U.P.”) practically 13 years in the past, I’m simply as at residence within the mountains and wine nation. As Rockset is eager on a wholesome work/life steadiness, I’m hoping they’ve a convey your canine to work day. ;- )
Rockset is the real-time analytics database within the cloud for contemporary knowledge groups. Get sooner analytics on brisker knowledge, at decrease prices, by exploiting indexing over brute-force scanning.
