I'm Andy Grove, a software engineer specializing in distributed systems and query engines. I am the author of the book How Query Engines Work.
I am a PMC member of the Apache Arrow and Apache DataFusion projects. I have made a number of code donations to these projects:
- In 2018, I donated the Rust implementation of Apache Arrow
- In 2019, I donated the DataFusion in-process SQL query engine
- In 2021, I donated the Ballista distributed SQL query engine
- Since 2024, I have been contributing to DataFusion's Comet subproject, which is an accelerator for Apache Spark
I am also the original author of the sqlparser-rs crate.
