He was an engineering manager for Real Time Analytics at Twitter. He is the co-creator of Twitter Heron and has more than two decades of experience working in parallel databases, big data infrastructure, and networking. He cofounded Locomatix, a company that specializes in real time streaming processing on Hadoop and Cassandra using SQL that was acquired by Twitter. Before Locomatix, he had a brief stint with Greenplum where he worked on parallel query scheduling. Greenplum was eventually acquired by EMC for more than \$300M. Prior to Greenplum, Karthik was at Juniper Networks where he designed and delivered platforms, protocols, databases, and high availability solutions for network routers that are widely deployed in the Internet. Before joining Juniper at UW Madison, he worked extensively in parallel database systems, query processing, scale out technologies, storage engine and online analytical systems. Much of this research was spun as a company later acquired by Teradata. He is the co-author of several publications and patents. He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin--Madison with a focus on data management, his M.S in Computer Science from the University of Missouri--Kansas City, and his B.E. (with distinction) in Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University, India.view less
