We work with you as a sponsor.

And I've been a fan, obviously, of Time Series Data.

And I had ideas for you all.

I've been working with Isabel behind the scenes.

And then it finally came back to this moment here where you have agentic Postgres, which is just super interesting to me.

So I thought we would dive deep into who you are, Ajay, what your journey might be and how you've come to love building databases.

So let's start there.

That's wild to know a co-founder of 28 years.

I mean the history and the,

The level of trust and maybe somewhat antitrust.

I don't know if that's the case.

Well, Mike is not here, so we can't speak for him, but I'm assuming he might say something like that.

So CEO of Tiger Data, you were under a different name, a different moniker before.

I do want to go there, but I kind of want to zoom back out a second just to kind of identify who you are.

But, you know, more so how you got here.

You mentioned MIT, Long Road, 20 years knowing Mike, met him at college, university, college.

You know, what was the journey from there to go into, I suppose, your career?

And what are some of the things you've done that you really feel have defined or identified who you are today?

Okay.

I know exactly what I was doing that year.
