Ensar Basri Kahveci first saw the term "NoSQL" in 2011 and used some NoSQL databases while doing back-end development for a social gaming company. Over time, he became curious about their theoretical aspects and started digging into the distributed systems topics in general. Ensar ended up working for Hazelcast in 2015, which is a distributed computing platform. He has been fueling his enthusiasm by getting his hands dirty on core parts of Hazelcast every day!
