Whaou I just realized for the first time that this company is named after the Darude's one and only hit.

For the record, I wasn't thinking of Darude's Sandstorm when I named the project. :)

EDIT: What I was thinking, at the time, was "sandbox in the cloud". But these days I like to retcon the name to be about granularity. Sandstorm's major technological innovation is fine-grained containerization, which is described in detail here: https://sandstorm.io/how-it-works

I will never believe it.
Grains of sand in a cloud is a sandstorm. Storms and clouds coming in are both said by people a lot. Synonymous in some situations. Some talk about sandstorms. It's believable that the connection was made without knowing... whatever work you're referencing. Never heard of it.
Let's chat if you have a minute. Email in profile.
Hi! From your profile it looks like you are recruiting engineers. Sorry but I am not available.

If there's something else you wanted to discuss, feel free to email me -- my email address is easy to find.

Not a recruiter, and not pinging to recruit.

Closest role might be architect. My team is 'technical strategy and incubation', looking for discontinuously better ways of doing things.

Your project has come up a few times, generally during debate about the practicality of capability based security.

Saw you post, checked your profile for email, pinged here to give you option to reach out.

// And yes, my profile mentions I'm hiring, as most of us should be. Per my comments or background or LinkedIn, you'll see I'm a founder / CTO not a recruiter.
