Hey, I'm Brad.

I lead a team of stellar developer advocates at IBM.

I found my way here through Cloudant, which was acquired by IBM. I ran product design there.

Before Cloudant, I ran a little startup called PostPost. It was one of the first social search engines, and featured a digest of topics, photos, videos & links from the people you're most connected to on Twitter.

A bunch of people liked it.

But, it wasn't all good. We suffered terribly when we were succeeding most, under the weight of new users. That's a big problem, and it was our undoing. It was this realization that led me to Cloudant, which is a database service that relieves a lot of that pain. I'm a big believer.

When I'm not working, I spend as much time as I can with my family at Mad River Glen.
