Whoa! Congrats to Gil and the rest of the team back at Factual. I'm eternally grateful to them for giving this ex-bioinformatician a shot and starting my career as a data engineer, I learned from some of the very best. They were doing some brilliant stuff, both from a technical standpoint and an organizational standpoint, so I am glad to see them continuing forward!
Gil is also responsible for bringing Google to LA when they bought his previous company Applied Semantics so he had a lot of cultural imprint on that office as well.

- hkmurakami 7y agoJake, I remember we chatted a bit way back when you were still at Factual. Great to see them get to this point. Hope you've been well!
- nightvoomer 7y agoI remember you referring me to Factual 8 years ago. Thanks for that! I didn't get hired, but it kicked off a life long interest in functional programming due to meeting with Aaron Crow during that interview.
