This is Bill Kennedy with the Arden Labs podcast.

And my special guest today comes all the way from San Francisco, Vanessa Ortiz.

Thank you so much for joining us today. Hi. Thanks for having me here.

Brilliant. Okay. So to be fair, I've known Vanessa for a little bit, right?

I mean, known each other very well, but I remember after you moved from Berlin, coming to San Francisco and getting involved with some people in the Doe community,

which is brilliant.

So I want to explore all of that with you because even though we've met before we've talked,

I've never really gotten your full story, and so I think this is going to be great.

But before we go back in time, why don't you give everybody two minutes where you are today

and kind of what you're doing?

So today, I am a community advocate at Sourcegraph.

I've been at Sourcegraph for the past three and a half years, more or less.

And yeah, I'm loving it there.

I love the founders over there. I love the company. I do love the product. Why don't you tell

everybody a little bit more about what Sourcecraft is doing and I kind of like your role is in helping promote that.

Yeah. So Sourcegraph is a dev tool that helps with code search and code intelligence.

We're basically the universal code search, the only universal code search solution out there, really.

And yeah, if you are struggling with finding, you know, the code that you need to find

and the abundance of codes that exist nowadays, especially now with the big code challenges

that we face nowadays, and you need a product like Sourcegraph to help you out.

We have been around for a while.

People are starting to appreciate and use us more.
