I put my name in a co-founder wish-list doc from HN [1] in 2010.

Many folks have reached out, some were pitching their ideas and others just wanted to get in touch.

One guy, Ev, said that he was going to write a new email server. I thought it was a bit funny (who wants a new email server in 2010?) but pretty cool at the same time so I decided to join.

That's how I ended up as a founding engineer at Mailgun (YC W11) and later on co-founded gravitational.com (YCS15) with same folks, Ev and Taylor, my best co-founders and friends from HN.

So thanks HN and YCombinator!
