Hey, excited to join and looking forward to learning from the discussions here.
I am a quant dev who recently shifted to a SWE role and work on streaming infra. I came across Pinot since a a lot of my work involves around Kafka (Kakfa Streams, Connect etc..) and systems like Pinot/Druid fit really well into the ecosystem. As for someone who has worked entirely in an investment bank as a desk quant, coming across Apache Projects and the community is really exciting.
Hope to someday learn more so as to be able to contribute to one of these projects :)
