Working on databases from prison

'm very excited to announce that I have recently joined Turso as a software engineer. For many in the field, including myself, getting to work on databases and solve unique challenges with such a talented team would be a dream job, but it is that much more special to me because of my unusual and unlikely circumstances.

I landed a software engineering job at a startup called Unlocked Labs building education solutions for incarcerated learners, while contributing to open source on the side. To this day I receive semi-regular emails either from developers, college kids or others who maybe have either gone through addiction or similar circumstances, or just want to reach out for advice on how to best start contributing to open source or optimize their learning path. I'm also incredibly proud to announce that I am now working for Turso full time, something I would never have dreamed would be possible just a few years ago, I'm very excited to be a part of the team and to get to help build the modern evolution of SQLite.
