I founded and lead Lightbend's products and services for "Fast Data", the evolution of Big Data technology for stream-oriented computing. I work on both the market and technical strategies. The result of these efforts is Lightbend Fast Data Platform (FDP), the industry-leading platform for streaming data processing at scale, using Spark, Flink, Lightbend Reactive Platform, Kafka, HDFS, management and monitoring tools, all running on Mesosphere DC/OS.
I lead the growing engineering team that's building FDP. My duties also include architectural leadership, evangelism for FDP and the core technologies it uses, conference speaking, and customer engagements.
