Bradford Stephens
Founder / CEO, Drawn to Scale
Bradford founded Drawn to Scale with the dream of helping people use data instead of struggle with infrastructure. After seeing dozens of companies trying to design a fully-functional distributed database from the ground up, he knew that someone had to solve the problem of making web-scale data accessible. Bradford uses his experiences from distributed computing, politics, and enrepreneurship to set strategy and drive the team forward.
His passion for scalability is reflected in many talks at conferences, articles, and on the Program Committee for O’Reilly and GigaOm conferences. Prior to this, he was Lead Platform Engineer at Visible Technologies, a Social Media BI company. Bradford also spent time at Microsoft (SQL Server team), in politics (Presidential and U.S. House campaign manager), and music (metal guitar). He holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Political Science. His blog on scalability can be found at Road to Failure, and is @LusciousPear on Twitter.
