Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVincent Royer is a Big Data engineer and founder with 11+ years building and operating large-scale distributed data systems across Cassandra, Elasticsearch and streaming platforms. He founded Strapdata to create Elassandra (Elasticsearch + Cassandra) and later contributed core backend and cluster-engine improvements to that project while helping enterprise customers avoid cloud lock-in. At DataStax and on Apache Pulsar he has improved schema handling, added Avro/UUID support and stabilized flaky sink tests—work that underpins reliable streaming at scale. He combines hands-on Java core-engine development with ops and managerial experience running 24x7 DBA teams and mission-critical infrastructure. Based in Lille, France, he pairs strategic product thinking with deep implementation chops, regularly moving between consulting, engineering and open-source contributions. An underappreciated strength: he blends founding-stage product focus with production-grade reliability from decades of running datacenter services.
