I'm a Software Development Engineer I at Cloudera, on the Data Warehouse team — building and improving large-scale query engines and storage integrations that power modern analytics workloads.
As an Apache Impala contributor, I've worked on Apache Iceberg integration within Impala, CatalogD enhancements, and observability features, enabling performant, transactional analytics on large-scale data lakes.
I'm passionate about distributed systems and big data: query optimization, storage engines, and the systems that make analytical SQL fast at scale.
