Welcome
Hello, I'm Al Brown. I've been an engineer, an architect, a post-sales consultant, and a technical pre-sales engineer. I've led devrel and product marketing teams, and I'm now a product manager at ClickHouse. I also advise early-stage startups on go-to-market and product, particularly in the developer tooling, agent experience, and data spaces.
I created clickhousectl, the CLI for ClickHouse local & Cloud, and lead ClickHouse's agent experience. I'm currently building out ClickHouse Cloud's developer platform.
