I’m a software developer with a passion for technical writing. I’ve found Elasticsearch to be one of the most versatile and elegant tools available, hence this book. Readers might be interested in Stretcher, an Elasticsearch client for ruby I wrote and maintain. I also have a software engineering blog on my site, which may be worth visiting if you’re a fan of functional languages and griping. I also maintain a number of open-source projects, all visible on my github profile.
