John Muellerleile is a seasoned software engineer and owner with 15 years building distributed systems, search-driven information retrieval, recommender systems, and large-scale data storage and processing. He has led platform and infrastructure teams at Vevo, shipped integrations and an app store at Humio, and now consults through Recursive Arts, applying deep systems experience to client problems. His background includes building production Solr search, distributed indexing atop Riak, and a distributed SQL query engine on HBase—projects that blend research-level design with pragmatic engineering. Based in Minneapolis, he pairs a multidisciplinary academic background (computer science and psychology, plus film music) with hands-on work spanning TB-scale data systems and production recommender/NLP pipelines. Notably, his Github bio wryly signals a quirky, down-to-earth persona—“not actually a giraffe”—reflecting a developer who values both rigor and approachability.
