Oren got into databases accidently, he was mostly interested in proper software architecture and compilers. But after seeing one project too many being led into oblivion because of database misuse, he had to take action. At one point, Oren was literally unable to sleep at night, since he kept imagining how a database should work.

RavenDB is here partly so Oren could get some winks in.
