Junping Du is a seasoned software leader and founder with 12 years of experience in distributed systems, cloud data platforms, and open source governance, currently leading Datastrato from California. As an Apache Hadoop committer, PMC and release manager, he has driven design and implementation for core HDFS and YARN features and fixed critical issues in widely used projects like Apache Hadoop and Hadoop Common. He blends hands-on backend engineering—resolving complex bugs in HDFS/YARN and improving serialization and diagnostics—with executive experience running cloud data products at Tencent Cloud and leading teams at Hortonworks and VMware. A long-time open source evangelist and mentor to incubating projects, he has practical expertise in release management, community building, and IP governance across foundations. His profile combines technical depth in large-scale data infrastructure with founder-level product and organizational leadership, plus the rare perspective of someone who has moved between core open-source contribution and commercial cloud product ownership.
