Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJan Nidzwetzki is a founding engineer and database/distributed-systems expert based in Hamburg with a PhD in computer science and over a decade of hands-on industry experience. He has driven core database internals at TimescaleDB—focusing on query planning, vectorization, compression and partitioning—and earlier built distributed systems like DSECONDO and BBoxDB during his doctoral research. As former CTO of an AI question-answering startup and longtime systems engineer, he blends product-minded leadership with deep low-level engineering in C/C++, Linux, and storage engines. Now at Nile he continues to apply that mix of research-grade systems design and practical production engineering to tackle large-scale data challenges. A not-obvious thread through his career is repeatedly turning academic prototypes into production-ready distributed stores and tools.
