Entong Shen is an engineering manager with a decade of experience building and leading teams that advance query processing and SQL features for large-scale data platforms. Currently at Snowflake’s Unistore team, he previously led query compilation and language work at Databricks and drove integration and ingestion features for Amazon Redshift at AWS. His background blends deep research (PhD in CS) and product engineering—contributions include query optimizer work (Orca), data virtualization, and practical tooling for workload analysis and testing.
