About Me
I’m a software engineer with more than 30 years of professional experience in a wide range of industries, including Banking, Media, Insurance, Hardware, and Software. I have co-founded two startups (one was acquired, one failed).
I have been specializing in query engines and distributed systems for the past 15 years.
I am the original author of Apache DataFusion and am a PMC member of Apache Arrow and Apache DataFusion.
I am also the original author of the sqlparser-rs project, which is one of the leading open-source SQL parsers for the Rust ecosystem.
