Hi all - I am new to Quarks and have been helping out with the website, and documentation.
I love working with open-source community. It's always interesting to work with people with different background, skills and ideas. I have not worked with Apache before, but I was previously a committer to the Eclipse Platform project. I have a background with tooling and developer enablement. At IBM, I have been working on Streams since 2009. I am currently working as the community architect for Streams, where I am responsible for developer enablement by creating various development resources, like technical articles, samples, tutorials, etc. I look forward to working with the Quarks community and providing whatever help I can.
