Deng An is a web developer based in Vaughan, Ontario with eight years of engineering experience and a strong focus on backend security for big data platforms. Currently at nortonelectric, he combines web development responsibilities with deep expertise in authorization and correctness, evidenced by contributions to the widely used Apache Kyuubi project where he hardened privilege-building logic and added targeted tests for complex SQL constructs. He brings a practical blend of application-level web skills and low-level security fixes, able to navigate INSERT/WHERE/JOIN edge cases that often slip past conventional testing. Deng’s profile reflects a developer who values correctness and auditability in distributed data systems, making him well-suited for roles that bridge frontend delivery and backend data platform integrity.
Apache Kyuubi is a distributed and multi-tenant gateway to provide serverless SQL on data warehouses and lakehouses.
