I'm a developer at PayPal, working mostly in Scala and Apache Spark.

I'm also the chair of Apache DataFu, the maintainer of the pig-eclipse project, and the creator/maintainer of the pig syntax highlighting scheme for gedit.

Before PayPal I was a team leader and developer at Vidmind, working on their recommendation engine and DRM solutions.

And before that I worked at SAP on the Visual Composer and River projects.
