I am a Software Engineer working in the Database Engineering team at Facebook, focusing on RocksDB, an open-source storage engine library. I also worked on Hive, HDFS, and some other data warehouse infrastructures. Before joining Facebook, I worked in the SQL Azure Team at Microsoft. I received a bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University and a master’s degree from Brandeis University.
