Welcome

Hello! My name is Alasdair Brown. I've spent the past 10 years working in the data analytics & engineering space, architecting nation-state cyber defence systems, consulting for global financial institutions, and leading developer relations & experience teams at early stage startups.

I created clickhousectl, the CLI for ClickHouse local & Cloud.
