In this Coffee Chat episode, Louis sits down with Redgate Advocate Kellyn Gorman. Kellyn tells her origin story of becoming a leader in the data community, which is as inspiring as it is interesting, and the conversation also covers security (and the inherent trust issues data professionals have!), fact-checking ourselves, aging DBAs, Lego obsession, and Raspberry Pi.
