SPEAKER PROFILE

Dave is a Solutions Architect at Aiven and is passionate about data, tech, and espresso. He enjoys writing code (certainly a lot more than writing about himself) and has contributed to several open source projects in the big data ecosystem, including Apache Kafka, Avro, HBase and Crunch. Nowadays, Dave does more talking than typing, having spent the best part of the last 8 years as a technical architect and consultant, travelling the world (remember that?) and helping organizations of all shapes and sizes with their data problems.
