United States - Menlo Park, California,

I work on data and ML infra. Follow me to explore and build the future together.

I'm working on Bluesky Data, focused on making SQL query/analytics faster and cheaper over data clouds, so that data analysts/scientists can become more productive, and data cloud users can control their cost.

If you have experiences and an opinion on the painpoints and opportunities in data infra, I'd love to talk to you. I also love startups and entrepreneurs, and have had the privilege to support some of them. I value leadership coaching (giving and taking). If I can be of help, please don't hesitate to ping me.

I've built and deployed large scale software systems battle-tested against internet scale workloads, built and led teams, and written research papers.

Outside of work, I’ve volunteered to teach music to a class of ~25 second graders for 1 year, and volunteered at a tech non-profit called NECINA for 6 years (4 years executing, 2 years on the board). I love studying foreign culture and languages (今日本語にはハマっています). Have a happy family with a wife, 2 kids and 2 cats.
