This past weekend marked my five-year anniversary at MarkLogic. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m proud of how much I’ve accomplished.<\/p>\n
It was the technology that originally caught my interest: I saw the MarkMail<\/a> demo at an XML conference, and one thing led to another. The company was looking to expand the product beyond the core database–they had plans for something called a “utility layer” though in reality it wasn’t really a utility nor a separate layer. It started with Search API<\/a>, though the very first piece of code I wrote was an RDFa parser<\/a>.<\/p>\n But what’s really held my interest for these years is a truly unmatched set of peers. This place is brimming with brilliant minds, and that keeps me smiling every day on my way in to work.<\/p>\n Which leads my thoughts back to semantics again. This push in a new direction has a lot of echoes with the events that originally brought me on board. This is going to be huge, and will move the company in a new direction. Stay tuned. -m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This past weekend marked my five-year anniversary at MarkLogic. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m proud of how much I’ve accomplished.
