“I truly believe Rain would be an amazing addition to any technology oriented company out there. If your company has an ambition to win hearts of developers -- Rain the the person! We first professionally met with Rain as panelists at Temporal's Replay conference in Aug'22. Being a panelist is not an easy task, but somehow being on the same stage with Rain helped to deliver flawless technology conversation! We spoke all things technology and distributed systems/databases and public accepted it very well! Then we worked together at the same company and although we were different departments, every time I needed some 'community' related help, Rain was there. One notable example was consulting on use cases for CockroachDB. I also observed how Rain delivered the closing keynote at PHP UK, representing our company, and I was amazed. All in all, I sincerely wish Rain future success and believe that next company who gets them will be extremely lucky! Do not hesitate to reach out for any additional comments, which will be strongly positive.”
