Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAkon Dey is a seasoned technology leader and entrepreneur with over 30 years of R&D experience building high-performance database, big-data and real-time systems across the United States, Australia and India. He co-founded Predictable Labs after leading engineering and product efforts as CEO of Dgraph and architecting large-scale data platforms at Visa and Yahoo, where he tackled multi–data-center streaming, low-latency processing and massive event collection. Known for deep expertise in database internals, OLTP/OLAP, stream processing and cloud/cluster infrastructure, he repeatedly delivers scalable, highly available systems and diagnostic tooling. He bridges academic rigor (PhD in IT) with product-driven execution, having rearchitected research systems for cloud deployment and taught advanced data models. Notably, he combines hands-on kernel and query-engine work with founder-level product leadership, making him equally comfortable in code, architecture and go-to-market strategy. Based in Foster City, he now advises startups while building his next company focused on predictable, production-grade data systems.
