Matei Zaharia is a Romanian-American computer scientist and the creator of Apache Spark.[1][2]
Zaharia was an undergraduate at the University of Waterloo.[3] While at University of California, Berkeley 's AMPLab in 2009, he created Apache Spark as a faster alternative to MapReduce.[4] He received the 2015 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for his PhD research on large-scale computing.
In 2013 Zaharia was one of the co-founders of Databricks where he serves as Chief Technology Officer.[2]
He joined the faculty of MIT in 2015, and then became an assistant professor of computer science at Stanford University in 2016.[5]
In 2019, Zaharia received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[3]
In 2019 he was spearheading MLflow at Databricks, while still teaching.[6][7][8]
Zaharia is also a past gold medalist at the International Collegiate Programming Contest, where his team University of Waterloo placed 4th in the world and 1st in North America in 2005.[9]
