I graduated during the summer of 2006 from
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Computer Science Department
and have been with IBM Almaden since then.
Since graduating, I have been interested in emerging data intensive systems such as
Hadoop's Map-Reduce,
HBase/BigTable, and
Facebook's Cassandra
that place an emphasis on scalability, fault-tolerance, and ease of administration.
Specifically, I've been working on JAQL,
a query language designed for JSON data that
compiles queries down to a map-reduce based plan. JAQL is an open-source project so I
encourage you to try it out and contribute feedback or code.
I have also continued work on text indexing in the context of semi-structured data,
inspired by my thesis, "Integrating Text Search and Relational Databases:
Functionality and Performance". My additional interests include:
indexing, query processing, privacy, and visualization systems.
