Top SchoolRay Paik is an experienced community manager and cross-functional leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling developer and user communities across software and hardware sectors. Currently leading community programs for TiDB at PingCAP after running community strategy at Cube Dev, he combines hands-on product and technical marketing instincts with practical community operations.

He’s managed geographically distributed teams and customers across China, EMEA, and the US, leveraging bilingual and multicultural experience to grow global participation.
