About the Authors

Luanne Misquitta is one of the world’s most experienced Neo4j consultants. She discovered graph databases and Neo4j in 2009 while she was researching techniques to model and traverse connected data. Since that defining moment in her career, she has been a graph advocate, Neo4j instructor, key community contributor, blogger, and frequent speaker at GraphConnect.

Luanne was previously VP of engineering at GraphAware, where she spent a decade consulting with clients around the world on graph modeling and Cypher. She was an open source committer and a core contributor to the Neo4j OGM and Spring Data Neo4j 4 frameworks. Luanne led the development of GraphAware’s Hume, an enterprise mission-critical graph analytics solution.

Christophe Willemsen is the chief technology officer at GraphAware, leading strategic R&D, security, and technical thought leadership initiatives. As the driving force behind the early development of GraphAware’s flagship product, Hume—a connected data analytics platform—he embedded his expertise to address the complex needs of organizations working with highly connected data. Today, Hume supports mission-critical investigations and intelligence analysis across law enforcement and intelligence sectors. Since joining GraphAware in 2014, Christophe has continued to innovate in the graph technology space, guiding product evolution and advising clients through advanced consulting and strategic initiatives.
