Hi my name is Mike Stolz. I have been around GemFire (the product from which Apache Geode was spawned) pretty much from the very beginning. In fact, I was the first customer to put it in production back in 2002 when I worked at Merrill Lynch. In 2007 I left Merrill Lynch and joined the GemFire team as VP of architecture, and I have been with them in various roles ever since. I now serve as a Product Manager for the GemFire product, and I contribute to Geode in terms of design considerations, customer use-cases, requirements, etc.
