Last year year we announced two developer-focused programs: Couchbase Expert and Couchbase Champions.

We created these programs to celebrate the contributions that certain individuals make to the Couchbase Community. From running a Meetup, to contributing lines of code and maintaining projects we use daily, Couchbase is lucky to have such an amazing developer community.

This month we'd like to give a big shoutout and welcome to our newest champions:

Andy Kruth – An avid blogger on Couchbase

Joel Ruisi – Works on various projects utilizing Couchbase Server. His most current project uses Couchbase Server in an effort to automate study design workflows in clinical trials.
