About me
I am a Research Scientist, Software Architect, Open Source activist and amateur car racer.
I received a Ph.D. in Distributed Systems from INPG in 2001. During my postdoc at Rice University, I contributed to DynaServer. I studied the design of scalable and highly available e-business servers and I designed the RUBiS benchmark. After leaving Rice, I led a team at INRIA in France to provide open-source middleware for large scale data servers. I was also Chief Architect of the ObjectWeb consortium and leader of the C-JDBC project. In 2005, I joined Continuent where I served as Chief Architect and Chief Scientific Officer. I lead Continuent.org and the Sequoia project that was the basis for Continuent's High Availability Database product line. I am still providing consulting as an independent activity to companies that need to build Highly Available databases and/or web applications.
At the end of 2006, I joined EPFL as a research assistant. I worked with both the operating systems and dependable systems laboratories. I joined UMass Amherst as a Senior Research Fellow in July 2008. I also worked for Aster Data Systems from October 2008 to May 2010. I have worked on many projects with different labs over the years at UMass. I currently work for the Laboratory for Advanced System Software with Prashant Shenoy. I also contribute to data forensics projects with the Internet Crimes Agaisnt Children task force.
During my free time, I enjoy racing cars with my wife. Together we are the co-owners of Frog Racing and we contribute to the sport in several ways by providing educational material, volunteering at events and promoting women in motorsports.
