Hey there, I'm Blake Gentry! 👋

I'm a developer passionate about building user-friendly, reliable, and scalable systems.

I'm the co-creator of River—a fast and reliable background job system for Go and Postgres. River is fully-featured and built to scale, and its transactional enqueueing model eliminates entire categories of distributed systems challenges. Check it out at riverqueue.com or dive into the code here.
