Our guest today is Doug Madory, the director of Internet analysis at Kentik.
He shares his journey from being a curious kid who transcribed games from magazines to becoming a world-renowned expert in Internet measurement and data analysis.
Doug explains what Internet analysis is and how he uses data to uncover the secrets and mysteries of the Internet infrastructure. He also talks about his work at various startups and companies, such as Renesys, Dyn, Oracle, and Kentik, and some of the patents and publications he has authored or co-authored.
We discuss the value of asking questions, learning from mistakes, and supporting your salespeople. We also delve into the challenges and benefits of remote work, especially for new hires and interns, and how to network and connect with people at conferences.

I'm here to lobby for the role of an analyst.
Going into a a data set and figure out what's interesting and be able to tell that story to other folks is, I think, an underappreciated skill set.
I intend to be doing it until the day I die.
