Sphinx Search

Adam received his start in software/databases at MySQL in 2004. In 2011, he heard about a great search server called Sphinx and decided it would be foolish not get behind such a great technology. He now serves as the Director of sales at Sphinx Search and looks forward everyday, to spreading ‘the word’ about the riddle that is Sphinx.
