Monty Taylor

MySQL

Monty Taylor is a Senior Consultant for MySQL. Don’t get excited, he’s not ‘that’ Monty. Monty specializes in HA solutions both with and without MySQL Cluster. He’s also the author of the NDB/Connectors for using non-C++ languages with the NDB API. When he’s not doing that, he’s an avid Python Hacker and is one of the most annoying advocates of Debian and Ubuntu you’re likely to meet. Oddly enough, he also like C# programming. (Go figure)
