About Joe
Joe Drumgoole is a Dublin-based developer, founder, and consultant with over twenty-five years in software product development. He has spent his career shipping things — from internet banking back-ends in the 1990s to global developer relations organisations for two of the most influential database companies of the last decade.
Most recently he was Head of Developer Relations at Neon, the serverless Postgres company acquired by Databricks. Before that he ran Global Developer Advocacy at MongoDB, where he led the worldwide developer content and advocacy programme. Earlier in his career he founded two startups, PutPlace and CloudSplit, and held engineering leadership roles across financial and infrastructure software.
Joe read Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin and has been writing Python for as long as Python has been worth writing. He still ships code most days, maintains a handful of open-source packages on PyPI, and is currently building WineBox, an AI-powered wine cellar management app. He writes here about databases, developer relations, Python, and whatever else is keeping him up at night.
