I firmly believe that when ideas are free to flow and people are empowered to contribute, technology—and society as a whole—benefits immensely.

A successful technology platform isn’t built solely on programming—it grows from a passionate, engaged community that believes in sharing knowledge.

My journey with MySQL and MariaDB has always been about more than just business; it’s been about setting a standard for openness and trust in the tech industry.

I see every technical challenge as an opportunity: a chance to rethink, improve, and collaborate toward a more inclusive digital future.
