I currently work at Elastic, the most innovative and advanced open source distributed search engine. Elasticsearch is rapidly becoming the world’s most popular open source search solution. I am helping customers implement large scale search and full text search over massive amount of data - typically TBs indexed per day and PBs altogether. This is handily one of the best solutions for real-time search and analytics over all the data and logs your systems constantly generate. Prior I spent 4 years at MongoDB from the early days of NoSQL, working on the kernel code (Map / Reduce, Javascript engine) as well as owning the mainstream Java driver. Over time I evolved to a more customer facing role taking on Solution Architecture and Consulting. MongoDB is a highly scalable, highly available document-oriented database already ranked 4th database in the world (http://db-engines.com/en/ranking). Previously I spent many years in the CDN industry, designing and developing one of the largest and fastest Content Delivery Network and Application Acceleration Network at Panther CDN and CDNetworks. This system was built from the ground up and implemented many scalable solutions that were revolutionary at the time: hash ring distribution a la Dynamo, non-blocking IO throughout, append-only disk IO, memory mapped files and FS cache, etc. This single system spans across 10,000 servers distributed worldwide in 120 POPs. Other experience includes wireless embedded software, Linux kernel development (network protocol), video game and 3D engine development. My recent positions have been a mix of software architecture, programming and team leader. I have always been hands-on, and spent a lot of time actually developing software.

Director, Solutions Architecture, AMER West & South Central @ Elastic is the most innovative and advanced open source distributed search engine. Elasticsearch and ELK, the products of Elastic, are rapidly becoming the world’s most popular open source search, log analysis, and data analytics solution. I work directly with the largest customers in Western territories to architect and implement large scale search and analytics over massive amount of data - typically many TBs indexed per day and PBs altogether. The ELK stack is handily the best solution for real-time search and analytics over all the data and logs your systems constantly generate. From November 2014 to Present (1 year 2 months) San Francisco Bay AreaPrincipal Solutions Engineer @ - Help architect scalable database designs for our largest and most strategic accounts in the West. - Develop reference solutions for MongoDB for several verticals (Retail, Internet of Things) - Kick started and initially lead the Technical Account Managers team: long term consulting for strategic accounts - Evangelism: deliver talks at MongoDB conferences and partner events.
