Hi everyone! This is Anant. I currently head up the Engineering and Ops functions at Alation as VP of Engineering. I have been working in the Software Technology space for over 20 years with 14 of those in management roles of increasing responsibility. Bulk of my experience came from working at Salesforce.com and Birst. I am really excited to join the Plato community and work with the engineering community to give back what I have learned so far.
