John Sichi

You can contact me at jvs@apache.org and tell me how much you admire my advanced HTML abilities. I also wordpress things sometimes.

Projects:

I became a committer on Apache Hive as part of my work at Facebook, and was later made PMC chair of that project.
One of my Hive projects involved integration with Apache HBase.
I was the project founder for LucidDB, an open source column store DBMS developed at an earlier startup (LucidEra).
In the past I served on the board of directors for Eigenbase, a non profit behind some of the open source DBMS frameworks used by LucidDB and other projects.
I contributed to the Mondrian open source OLAP engine.
I am the project administrator for JGraphT, a Java library of graph theory data structures and algorithms.

Bio:

As you can probably tell, I really like open source development, and I enjoy collaborating with people from a variety of different projects both inside and outside Apache. My background is in DBMS internals, and I've been involved with a number of startups throughout my career. Lately I've been getting into massive data volumes using Apache Hadoop and learning more about the problems of analytical data processing at petabyte scale.

I have a bachelor's degree in EECS from Berkeley ('92), one quirky teenaged daughter, and an even nuttier dog.
