What could possibly go wrong...

Markus Pfeiffer

Hi, I am a math­e­mati­cian, com­put­er sci­en­tist, and soft­ware en­gi­neer. My main work is in query lanaguages and high per­for­mance dis­trib­uted query ex­e­cu­tion these days. Most re­cent­ly I am try­ing my hands at build­ing and or­gan­is­ing soft­ware teams.

My past shenani­gans in­clude work­ing at Huawei R&D Ed­in­burgh on graph and re­la­tion­al data­bas­es, and ArangoDB, a mul­ti-mod­el dis­trib­uted graph data­base.

At work, I main­ly code in C++, but have sol­id ex­pe­ri­ence in Rust, Elixir, and, of course Rack­et and Scheme.

In a pre­vi­ous life, I played with com­put­ers and math­e­mat­ics at the School of Com­put­er Sci­ence, Uni­ver­si­ty of St An­drews, and I am not even sure I can call those shenani­gans a hob­by any­more.
