Vinoth Chandar

Vinoth Chandar is the creator and PMC chair of the Apache Hudi project, a seasoned distributed systems/database engineer and a dedicated entrepreneur. During his time at Uber he created Hudi, which pioneered transactional data lakes as they know them today, as a way to solve unique needs of speed and scale for Uber’s massive data platform. Applying his unique perspectives and deep experience with databases, distributed-systems and data systems at planet-scale, strengthened through his work at Oracle, Linkedin, Uber and Confluent, Vinoth founded Onehouse - a cloud-native managed lakehouse service that makes data lakes easier, faster and cheaper.

‍

Although significant strides have been made since he built Hudi, Vinoth recognizes there is a lack of scalable, cost-efficient, standardized data infrastructure that cripples many data organizations. Your data infrastructure should scale without needing an army of highly skilled engineers to operate and most importantly, your data should be owned by you. That’s exactly what Vinoth has built here at Onehouse.
