Bio

I am a senior software engineering leader and architect with a proven track record of building and leading teams, delivering successful products, and inventing cutting edge technology. I am focused on cloud, data management, infrastructure, databases, and distributed systems. I received the SIGMOD Systems Award 2019 for building the Aurora database, which fundamentally redesigned relational database storage for cloud environments. https://sigmod.org/sigmod-awards/citations/2019-sigmod-systems-award/ I have built and managed teams working on v1 projects as well as mature products. I have designed many novel systems, and have 25+ patents granted. I have built significant pieces of the cloud infrastructure at the top cloud companies.
