Bio

Martin is the Co-Creator of Presto and a Software Engineer at Facebook where he leads the Presto development team. Previously, he was an architect at Proofpoint and Ning. Martin joined Facebook in 2012 when, at the time, Hive was the de facto platform for SQL analytics at Facebook. Seeing a need for fast interactive SQL analytics, Martin and 3 other engineers worked to create what became Presto. In the Spring of 2013, Martin and the team rolled out Presto into production at Facebook where it was later made open source in the Fall of 2013. Since then, Presto has gained wide adoption both internal and external to Facebook.
