Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGianmarco De Francisci Morales is a Senior Principal Researcher with 14 years of experience at the intersection of scalable data mining and data-intensive computing, holding a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering. He combines academic depth with production-grade engineering, contributing as an Apache Pig committer and an ASF open-source developer across the Hadoop ecosystem (Pig, Giraph, Storm, Kafka). His work spans stream mining, parallel and distributed computing, and practical systems for big data, including leading development of Apache SAMOA for mining large data streams. Based in Turin, Italy, he has moved fluidly between research labs and industry—driving prototypes to deployable systems at Yahoo Labs, QCRI, ISI Foundation, and CentAI. A subtle throughline in his career is shipping cleaner, more maintainable core functionality (e.g., parser and MapReduce launcher improvements in Pig) that improves developer ergonomics as well as runtime scalability.
