Hello Community!

My name is Brenna and I’m the new Developer Evangelist here at StreamSets. For the majority of my career, I’ve been a data engineer tasked with moving data from various places within an organization into a central data warehouse. I’m sure this is something you all can relate to. I’m really excited to enable you to get the most out of your journey with StreamSets. I’ll be here in the community answering questions, as well as participating in webinars and podcasts and supporting this developer community any way that I can. As I am ramping up here at StreamSets, please share any content or best practices you’ve found. I would love to learn from you too.

Meet the Community | Introduce yourself

Hello everyone, Welcome to the StreamSets Community. I am excited to help empower members as they continue their journey to learn, share, and grow their knowledge to succeed each day. I want to introduce myself, and I hope to read more about you too!I am Drew Kreiger. I recently started as the Senior Community Manager here at StreamSets in April of 2021. In the past 5 years, I have previously worked with communities at Talend and now called Redis, where I managed community meetups, education programs, hackathons, forums, and many other great programs with fantastic community members.I enjoy working with community members as I enjoy helping users overcome issues/challenges. I also enjoy working with users on community content and seeing the impact a blog, podcast, KB article, and or event has made within the community. A fun fact about me. During college, I had studied to become a sommelier. Cheers!
