- Joined the original Presto creators (ex-colleagues at Facebook who co-founded Starburst to offer fully managed Presto) to build Starburst’s batch analytics product from scratch. Led product ideation, hired engineering team, led go to market. - Built an active open source community of over 200 companies using Starburst’s open source product Trino (renamed from Presto) for batch analytics. As evidence of the popularity of this product, many companies like Salesforce, Lyft, Zillow, and TreasureData have given talks, written blogs, and published research papers about Starburst/Trino for batch analytics. I was invited to give talks on the product at many data conferences, like dbt Coalesce.
