## AI overview

A personal account of joining Citus Data and making early contributions to its open-source distributed SQL database built on PostgreSQL. The article describes patches adding rename and configuration operations for distributed tables and indexes, along with a fix for creating indexes with storage options.

## Source excerpt

You might have read it in the news already in Citus' blog post by Sumedh Pathak: PostgreSQL Expert Dimitri Fontaine joins Citus Data. I am very happy to join a talented team here at Citus, and excited to work on an Open Source solution for distributed SQL on-top of PostgreSQL! In this article I'm going to cover my first technical contributions to Citus database, as it happens that a few patches of mine made it to the main source tree already. TL;DR It's good to be working on PostgreSQL related source code again, and to have the opportunity to solve PostgreSQL related problems at scale!
