About

I’m an Apache Cassandra committer at the ASF and a Developer Advocate at DataStax (an IBM company).

I help aspiring developers build apps on Cassandra using AI and Claude β€” without the hype πŸš€. That means practical tutorials for developers at any level, hands-on projects combining Cassandra and Claude, and straight-forward breakdowns of AI and app development. Plus the occasional other technology that tickles my fancy.

On a personal note, I’m an Aussie dad based in Melbourne πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί. I follow AFL footy πŸ‰ and I’m a member of the Richmond Tigers football club 🐯. I’m also an official FIBA πŸ€ scorer.

If there’s something you want to build with AI on Cassandra, let me know.
