About
I'm the co-founder and CTO of DBOS, helping developers build reliable software effortlessly.
I previously obtained a PhD in CS from Stanford, where I studied computer science (particularly databases and distributed systems) and was advised by Matei Zaharia and Peter Bailis. Qian Li and I led the DBOS academic project (CIDR 2022, VLDB 2022), which our startup is now commercializing. I was particularly involved in Epoxy (VLDB 2023) and Apiary (arXiv). Other projects I have worked on include Data-Parallel Actors (NSDI 2022), POP (SOSP 2021), Willump (MLSys 2020, VLDB 2020), MacroBase (Best of VLDB 2019) and Arachne (OSDI 2018). I did my undergrad at Harvard, where I worked with Margo Seltzer.
