Welcome to the team sir! I absolutely recognize the handle from UI-cmb… you and I chatted a number of times over on those forums.

[Alta-cmb]

Thanks for the welcome! Indeed, I remember you.

I had some growing pains in my younger days on those forums… sorry for any rants from back in the day :). Fresh start over here.

Welcome to the team, Shaq! After all that time at “the U word company”, it was awesome to finally meet you in person last week!

@Alta-cmb Welcome to Alta Labs!

Alta Labs seem to have a very strong team of people on board. Now with the addition of Alta-cmb I’m intrigued to know what the future holds for an Alta Labs router
