Bronto now serving Haggis

by Stacy Lyons on September 11, 2009

Usually when a new employee starts Bronto, we produce a short video introducing them to the fans of BrontoNation.  Since Caroline Smith, editor of BrontoNation and video editor extraordinaire, is out on vacation, we will have to do without the multimedia this time.  So, without further ado; please welcome Jeff Turner to the Bronto Team.

Jeff has joined our development team as a Software Engineer.   Jeff joined Bronto after owning his own web company that focused on user engagement analysis and user loyalty.   His company was bought by Feedburner and then by Google;  he worked with both organizations managing large volumes of traffic and data.

His short term goals are to get a better idea of the volume of email and data that passes through our application currently and what amount of growth in volume we are forecasting.  From there he wants to noodle on some ideas on how to handle additional volume and scale the growth.  He is looking to take from his past experiences and apply the practices he has used in the past to scale growth and apply them to Bronto’s technology.

Outside of work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his family; playing soccer with his young son and making music with his daughter.  Jeff plays guitar and now that his daughter is taking piano lessons they plan on entertaining family and friends.  He is also a huge college football fan and he tries to take in as many NC State and Appalachian State games as possible.  His family also enjoys watching movies together with Ponyo and Up being two of his recent favorites.

Last year Jeff had the opportunity to travel to Scotland with a native Scot and spend some time there fly fishing, hiking and searching for Nessie.  While in Scotland, Jeff even partook of the local cuisine and dined on Haggis (yes, that would be sheep liver, lung and heart) and he is planning on serving it up to the rest of Bronto for lunch and learn one day soon.

Jeff, welcome to Bronto!  We are excited to have you on board – but you might want to rethink that Lunch and Learn choice, please!
