About — in the speaker's own words
My software development journey started with open source and Apache Arrow project. More specifically, I started with contributing to the Arrow R package in 2021. After that I have contributed to other open source projects connected to the Python dataframe API standard while on Quansight and became a Apache Arrow committer in 2022 after being a regular contributor to Apache Arrow (Python) since 2021. I am currently working at Voltron Data as a Software Engineer.
