Anna Glander is a data engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable data systems and observability tooling across startups and scale-ups, currently at Grafana Labs. She blends hands-on backend and database engineering—evident from contributions to Materialize’s dbt adapter and real-time data integration work—with product-focused analytics and documentation improvements for dbt’s docs site. Her background spans roles from product analyst to analytics manager, giving her a knack for asking the right questions and turning data into actionable answers. Based in the New York City area, she pairs a Mathematical Economics BA with Data Science training from General Assembly, and quietly differentiates herself by improving developer experience and testing around database adapters in open-source projects.
