I'm a data engineer and in recent years I've been involved in a variety of Big Data projects, specially building complex Hadoop pipelines (with Solr/Lucene), scaling systems and applying Machine Learning tecniques.
I was an early adopter of Apache Hadoop back in 2007 and some years ago I led the development of the Pangool project, a low-level replacement of the Hadoop Map-Reduce API. I’m mostly interested in optimization problems and algorithms. (I also enjoy modding analog synthesizers and playing piano/keyboard).
