Hi - thanks for dropping by. I'm Simon Prickett, a skilled Developer Relations practitioner with over 30 years of technical training, software architecture, team and product management and software development experience.
In my most recent employment, I was solely responsible for all things Developer Relations at CrateDB.
Prior to that I was the Principal Developer Advocate for Redis, where I led the team that develops course materials and accompanying example applications, videos and blog posts for the online Redis University courses. I was the principal teacher for the Redis for JavaScript (Node.js) Developers course, and have also contributed to the Redis Streams, Storing Querying and Indexing JSON at Speed and Redis for Java Developers courses. I spoke at conferences and events, desiged and delivered workshops, answered technical questions on Discord and StackOverflow and created a lot of technical live streams. I contributed code and documentation to several Redis client SDKs and other projects on a regular basis.
Outside of my day job, I enjoy tinkering with Raspberry Pi and Arduino single board computers and building hardware projects with them. I recently acquired a BBC micro:bit and need to spend some time learning about that. I periodically write about IoT topics and speak at Meetup groups or conferences.
If you find value in my projects, please consider buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi. Your support helps me buy materials for future projects.
