Griffin Smith is the dataflow tech lead at ReadySet. They spent the first decade of their career as a full-stack application and data pipeline engineer, where they 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. They joined ReadySet in 2020 as the second full-time hire to make that vision a reality. In their spare time, Griffin likes to play music and ride bikes around Brooklyn, NY.
