Most recently, Andy Konwinski co-founded Databricks. Before that he was a PhD student and then postdoc in the AMPLab
at UC Berkeley, focused on large scale distributed computing and cluster scheduling. He co-created and is a committer on
the Apache Mesos project. He also worked with systems engineers and researchers at Google on the design of Omega,
their next generation cluster scheduling system. More recently, he developed and led the AMP Camp Big Data Bootcamps
and first Spark Summit, and has been contributing to the Spark project.
Patrick Wendell is an engineer at Databricks as well as a Spark Committer and PMC member. In the Spark project, Patrick
has acted as release manager for several Spark releases, including Spark 1.0. Patrick also maintains several subsystems
of Spark's core engine. Before helping start Databricks, Patrick obtained an M.S. in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. His
research focused on low latency scheduling for large scale analytics workloads. He holds a B.S.E in Computer Science
from Princeton University
Matei Zaharia is the creator of Apache Spark and CTO at Databricks. He holds a PhD from UC Berkeley, where he started
Spark as a research project. He now serves as its Vice President at Apache. Apart from Spark, he has made research and
open source contributions to other projects in the cluster computing area, including Apache Hadoop (where he is a
committer) and Apache Mesos (which he also helped start at Berkeley).
