Team

Reporting to Andy Xu - Manager, Engineering

Andy leads the Storage team within the Database Platform organization, where he oversees the development of Pebble, a Log Structured Merge (LSM) tree implementation (akin to RocksDB, but with innovative features for a SQL database). Based in Seattle with his family, Andy enjoys hiking, playing badminton, and spending quality time with his children outside of work.
