Active Founders
Previously visiting partner at YC for W23 and S23; now co-founder at Ubicloud. Co-founder and CEO of Citus Data (S11), the creators of the distributed PostgreSQL database Citus. Led the PostgreSQL product team at Azure, after Citus Data was acquired in 2019 by Microsoft.
I’m the cofounder of Ubicloud (YC W24), an open source alternative to AWS. We're on a mission to rebuild the cloud market with different values. Previously, I was a partner at Microsoft, leading PostgreSQL engineering teams. I came to Microsoft through its acquisition of Citus Data (S11). I was the cofounder and CTO at Citus, and I learned a lot about doing startups there. Before all this, I built distributed systems at Amazon.
I am one of the founders of Ubicloud. I've contributed to a number of control planes from an early phase, starting at Heroku, in what would become Heroku Postgres. Since then, I've serially created new control planes and infrastructure cloud products with some close colleagues, at Citus Cloud and Crunchy Bridge. Ubicloud is the fourth such system.
