I am a developer relations advocate and technical writer at DuckDB Labs, the company behind DuckDB, an in-process analytical database management system. I maintain DuckDB’s documentation, edit its blog, and co-organize the DuckCon conference series. I also give technical talks on DuckDB, triage issues, and run several social media sites.
Outside of my work on DuckDB, I am a benchmark expert at the Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC), a non-profit organization that creates standard graph processing benchmarks. I maintain multiple graph benchmarks and their data sets.
Previously, I spent a decade on academia. I obtained my PhD in software engineering at the Critical Systems Research group of TU Budapest, followed by a 3-year stint as a post-doctoral researcher at the Database Architectures group of CWI Amsterdam. My research focused on graph queries, graph analytics, and benchmarks.
