Aspen Smith is the dataflow tech lead at ReadySet. She spent the first decade of her career as a full-stack application and data pipeline engineer, where she developed a deep dissatisfaction with the current offerings in the database world, and passion for making the experience of using databases easier and more delightful for application engineers. She joined ReadySet in 2020 as the second full-time hire to make that vision a reality. In her spare time, Aspen likes to play music and ride bikes around Brooklyn, NY.
