“I used to blog here.”

Standard

I used to post here, jeffcotrupe.com, about my work life at MongoDB and Stratecast. The world turns, things change, and I don’t do much of that anymore. Before I go, I’ll share two quick things:

Some of my best (or favorite) work: Made on SingleStore

Our Brand Team, to this day my favorite humans at SingleStore, gave me a really nice framework to build on, and I ran with it. Made on SingleStore showcased some of my work as a member of the Product Marketing team, and results I achieved for SingleStore, in Customer Marketing, Analyst Relations, Partner Marketing, and Community/Peer Reviews.

Where I hang my blogging hat now: marketblog.me

For years now when I’m inspired to blog about some burning issue, here’s where it happens:

It Was Just a Thought™: Jeff Cotrupe’s MarketBLOG, at marketblog.me

Type marketblog.me into a search field and that’s where you’ll find me. One post, US Taxpayers and Social Insecurity, tackles the topic with facts, links, a smattering of opinion, and hopefully a few laughs. Most importantly, I got an animated GIF to work as the post’s Featured Image: Darrell Hammond’s dead-on impression of Al Gore on SNL describing his proposal to stop politicians from looting the Trust Fund that pays for Social Security and Medicare: “a LOCKBOX.”

…and soon: Cockroach Labs/CockroachDB Blog

The home for blogs @ my current company Cockroach Labs, the creator of CockroachDB, is here. The title of my first post is Stop Blaming the Model: How Legacy Databases Wreck AI Innovation (and How to Fix This). At least that was the original title when it left my hands; it’s in editing, so we’ll see where it ends up. Anyway, the main thrust is that legacy databases, which aren’t even equipped to handle the amount of human data being produced at the dawn of 2026, don’t stand a chance against the growing global army of AI agents making thousands of decisions per second 24/7. Should be a good one, and I’ll return here to share the link.

AI Expo North America 2017 has selected Jeff Cotrupe as an event Chair for its upcoming conference in November just after the US Thanksgiving holiday. The event, co-located and concurrent with the Blockchain and IoT Tech expos, will occur 29-30 November 2017 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, USA.

“Artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, and blockchain are fast becoming integral parts of the world in which we live and work,” said Cotrupe. “It is an honor to be involved with this multi-faceted conference and I will be focusing, in part, on how AI both leverages data and contributes to the overall big data and analytics (BDA) ecosystem.”

The Bot and Virtual Assistant Development Track Cotrupe is chairing occurs on Day 2 of the conference and his featured Speaker content is linked from that page or directly available here.
