Founder & CEO at VelocityDB
Carlsbad, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMats Persson is a veteran software architect and founder with three decades of experience building high-performance databases and distributed systems, currently leading VelocityDB from Carlsbad, California. He designs storage engines that persist .NET objects natively and has extended his work with an open-source property graph (VelocityGraph), blending deep systems design with practical product leadership. His background spans kernel-level C++ indexing and scoring engines, object-oriented database internals, and cloud-native application work across C#, Java, Python and Smalltalk. Known for turning complex persistence and indexing challenges into efficient, production-ready solutions, he’s equally comfortable inventing core database features (page-level backup/restore, persistent GC, novel indexing) and shipping customer-facing analytics capabilities. A not-obvious thread through his career is a long-standing focus on in-process versions and tooling to make complex distributed systems easier to test and debug.
