Hello,
I was first introduced to graph dbs and Neo4j in particular in around 2012 when someone dragged me into helping them with a small neo4j project. I only did the frontend for that app, but I had such great fun playing with Neo4j and absolutely loved cypher. Since, then I've been working on and off with various Neo4j-based projects and am currently working at Graphaware, building graph solutions, working with an awesome set of people!
Cheers,
Aldrin
