Welcome! Introduce yourselves and mingle a bit.

[BScott]

Let's start to get to know everyone and introduce ourselves to each other. I'm going to do a longer post to introduce the community team, but I'll go ahead and get started here to kick things off. You can do your intro however you'd like, but we'd love to have you include at least the basics:

Name, dob, ssn... oh wait. That's not it—wrong list. 🤣  Let me try again.

Name, current job title, company
fun fact about yourself

You can add more of course. And if you don't want to share your current company, you can say your industry instead.

Hi everyone! I'm Becky Scott, Senior Manager Technical Community at JumpCloud. You'll see a lot of me around here (sorry in advance) as this is part of my day job. Meetups and social also fall under my team. And a fun fact: if you haven't seen me on camera on the IT Hour yet this will be new to you—my hair is purple and I love it because it's, well, fun. Stick around and I'm sure you'll learn more about me. Like the fact that I abuse emojis and gifs. (Sorry, not sorry.)

Welcome David! Glad to have you here.

Welcome to the community Humashankar! 

[Ganeshkoolney]

Hey there! 👋
I'm Ganesh Kurne (aka Mr.Koolney),  your friendly neighborhood Global IT Manager at Multiplier. I'm the guy who keeps the tech train chugging along while jamming to rap and rock tunes. When I'm not busy fixing glitches, you'll find me binge-watching anime or cautiously exploring new places (no haunted houses, please!). Let's rock this IT world together! 🎸👻

[BScott]

Welcome, Ganesh! 👋🏻

Great to have you here. We'll try to avoid haunted houses but you never know with this group (especially around Halloween!). I don't watch a ton of anime, but my kids were watching Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra recently and pulled me in (I believe that's considered anime—I'm really out of the loop).

Jump right in! Lots to explore here in the community, and don't forget to join us on Fridays for the IT Hour.
