About

I am a Staff Engineer at InfluxData, where I work on the InfluxDB 3.0 time series database in Rust. My current focus is storage and query processing which is built using the Apache DataFusion query engine and the Apache Arrow ecosystem. With Evan Kaplan, I coined the term FDAP Stack to describe modern systems composed from these reusable components.

I have a strong interest in open source software and the Apache Software Foundation, where I am a Member and a committer and on the PMC of Apache DataFusion and Apache Arrow. I spend a significant amount of my time contributing to and maintaining the code and community of DataFusion, and arrow-rs, the Rust implementations of Arrow and Parquet.
