Hi all,

Scala dev from the Netherlands, here. Currently using CDH 6.1.1 (in fact, my company may have played some role in requesting that .1 being provided by Cloudera. Thanks again for that, guys!).

I mostly do ETL-type stuff, using HDFS and Kudu.

I'm actualy a biochemist/systems biologist by training, but quickly jumped to Web analysis when I was done with school, and then retrained to be a java developer and BI specialist. From there it was a fairly small jump to HDFS and scala.

In my free time I do some home lab/ home networking stuff, a little bit of game development, and I've recently picked up pencil sketching to wind down.

Hi there,

I am Michael and gathered 20+ yrs experience in development and architecture, inhouse and consulting, mostly around Oracle databases. I touched a lot of languages and technologies and really like to learn, which lead me to join a Team at my employer to work with Big Data tech to tackle some existing and future challenges. Workwise we are still on HDP and wait for the final development on Cloudera's side regarding licensing "and stuff" 🙂 

When I am not working I love to listen to music in proper quality and spent a lot of my time on correcting impulse responses of speaker systems. I play Guitar and Bass, do some recording, play with a Metal band and properly annoy my wife and two Maine Coons.
