bsmth/README.md

👋 Hi everyone, I'm bsmth

I'm a Technical Writer at QuestDB who loves open source software, IoT, and music technology.

  • 📖 I've been building great developer docs in Berlin, Germany, since 2016.
  • 🧰 Tools and technologies I like to hack are
    • Swagger docs
    • Python
    • Node.js
    • Ruby
    • Arduino & microcontrollers
    • All things IoT

🔬 Projects

I write documentation at QuestDB - a blazing fast open source time series database. The team behind QuestDB have built an incredibly efficient project from the ground up with a lot or attention to performance details.

In order to build a super efficient system, some interesting optimizations are used:

  • ZeroGC - zero garbage collection
  • SIMD instructions for high parallelization
  • Vectorized query execution
  • Zero Dependencies - the production artifact is about 3MB

There's a ton of reasons why you might want to use a time series database in your project if you're hacking on small IoT projects or building something larger that's data-intensive.
