Hi there 👋

I'm Andy Grove, a software engineer specializing in distributed systems and query engines. I am the author of the book How Query Engines Work.

Work

I work for NVIDIA where I contribute to the RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark, which is an open source plugin that provides GPU-acceleration for ETL workloads, leveraging the RAPIDS cuDF GPU DataFrame library.

Open Source

  • I am a PMC member of Apache Arrow, where I donated the initial Rust implementation and later donated the DataFusion query engine.
  • I believe that Rust and Apache Arrow together provide a great foundation for distributed systems and I created the Ballista Distributed Compute platform to demonstrate the possibilities.

Hobbies

I occasionally work on hobby projects involving digital electronics, microcontrollers, woodworking, and similar skills. Some of my projects have been featured on popular "maker" web sites.
