Staff Technologist, Technical Strategy Group, at Confluent. I think about the future of Confluent, the Kora engine and Apache Kafka.

Previously:

  • Principal software engineer at Splunk working on Apache BookKeeper and Apache Pulsar.

  • Staff software engineer at VMware in the RabbitMQ core team.

I’m into all things messaging systems, distributed systems engineering, distributed systems testing, formal verification and I love to write.
