About this Episode -
Join today’s episode as we say howdy to one of Duckbill Group’s latest hires! Alex Rasmussen, Principal Cloud Economist at Duckbill, whose trajectory into tech is quite protean, sits down with Corey for a chat. Alex is one of the first of a “cloud economist subtype” with a background in academics, consulting, and more!

Alex jokes about going to school “until somebody told me I have to stop”—the result? A PhD in Computer Science and Engineering. But Alex’s expertise only begins there. Alex used his academic background to dovetail with multiple startups, which lead to a history steeped in data infrastructure. Corey and Alex discuss Duckbill’s decision and logic behind hiring him to cover down on the data side of things. Join them as they dive duckbill first into the deep pool of data!
