Dylan Moy I am the uh tech lead and product area owner over domain or Versel's domains product that includes uh our search by stuff and registar activities DNS um search management and aliasing domains to deployments I started a versel uh let's see last February and originally did not start on domains I was on a team called life cycle and in September I was asked to uh switch over

to managing domains which at the time did not have a uh a formal team assigned to it Uh one thing to note is that domains is one of Versell's oldest products um and has uh been given love from a bunch of different engineers over the years Um in fact there's still uh get blame artifacts in uh the front end of domains that have like evil rabbit and Javi and GMO still in there but took

over in September to try to start um catching up on some of the tech debt that has occurred over the years and that slowly turned into uh finding potential to kind of breathe some new life into Versel domains and uh just over time we have found more and more use cases to tie it into our exist existing product and revamp our existing domains products and formalized a team around the product area including Reese and Mark Gola who is uh unfortunately not with us today Um but over the next

year we are um kind of rethinking and reimagining some of our domains products and we have some stuff to show you in that regards today but I'll turn it over for Reese to introduce himself Yeah Uh I'm Ree Uh I joined Vel pretty recently uh about like 90 days ago uh in January Um doing software engineering on the domains team A lot of my work so far
