Grant Slatton
I'm a founding engineer at Row Zero where we've built the world's fastest spreadsheet.
Formerly, I was a senior engineer at AWS S3 where I led the team that built and owned the custom, high-performance storage node at the heart of the world's largest cloud storage service.
When I'm not writing code, you can find me woodworking in my garage, training BJJ at the gym, or walking around our neighborhood in Seattle with my wife and our corgi.
Feel free to contact me at me@grantslatton.com, or on Twitter.
