Thank you all for the warm welcome. I’m really honoured to join the Apache Calcite project as a committer.
A few words about myself. I’m a software engineer living with my wife and two kids in Switzerland (french speaking part). I spend about half of my time teaching software engineering at the university of applied sciences and arts of western Switzerland and the second half conducting research projects with local companies. Research wise, I have a strong interest for databases, distributed systems, geographic information systems, and open source. Apache Calcite caught my attention as I was looking for solutions to optimise advanced geospatial queries. From a relational algebra perspective, I feel that this is an area where a lot remains to be done. Apart from coding, I like hiking, bike riding, skying, and spending time exploring nature with my family. I look forward to our future exchanges and to getting to know you better.
