Software Engineer at Databricks

Senior Software Engineer at Databricks

Report

I am working on the Delta at Databricks. I have a PhD from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. My interests are in distributed and parallel programming languages, networking abstractions and control, and language and runtime support for big data processing systems. I also have some interdisciplinary interests in climate science, music, (nautical) navigation systems, and digital TTRPG tools.

Kompact

Kompact is a message-passing component system like Kompics in the Rust language, with performance and static typing in mind. It merges both Kompics' component model and the actor model as found in Erlang or Akka. Kompact has shown itself to vastly outperform many of its peers on a wide range of message-passing tasks, providing the capability of handling up to 400mio messages per second on 36 cores.
