Welcome to the Arden Labs podcast. My name is Bill Kennedy and our special guest today is Mariah Peterson.

Hey, Mariah.

Hey, how are you doing?

Oh, life is good. I can't complain. I can't complain. Everybody's healthy and things are at least, I feel like they're pretty good in Miami.

Where are you coming from? Let everybody know kind of where you're coming from.

So I live in Spanish Fork, Utah. It's about an hour south of Salt Lake.

I love Salt Lake City. It's so beautiful there.

Yeah, well, we've been just sitting in a pile of smoke, the wildfires.

We have a little bowl, right, surrounded by mountains. So we get major inversion.

And so the smoke's just been sitting on us for weeks.

Totally forgot about that.

Yeah, everybody on the West Coast is, oh, my God.

Yeah, well, that could be a whole show unto itself.

But we are not here to talk about that, right?

We're here to talk about that, ma'am. We're here to talk about you.

So give everybody who's listening, like, the two minutes on what you're doing today.

I guess highlights for me as Mariah is I kind of, I have a day job where I work as a data engineer,

working on bringing in and managing

data pipelines from external sources. It's great and fun and all the SQL you could ever

want. But after my day job, I do the fun stuff. So I get to do, I do coding on Twitch. I have a conference,

a go conference I organize. I do several meetups. I've been dedicating some time to getting a

go course on a website, a free one, and I play with my dogs. I take my dogs to the dog part.
