Chung-Ho Chen

Chung-Ho started working on Big Data prior to the invention of the Apache Hadoop framework. He previously worked on the Sybase database kernel, and the first MPP analytics database management system that runs on a cluster of commodity servers (a joint development of Sybase and NCR/Teradata) back in 1994. He spearheaded the Oracle Extensibility Framework and Oracle Text development, and was the lead development manager and principal architect responsible for Oracle query processing of semi-structured, and unstructured data. He was the Engineering Head of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, and led product development from its inception to the industry's first secure search engine on the market. While at Microsoft, he led the server development in its IPTV division, and was instrumental in driving the industry's first large scale commercial IPTV deployment, AT&T U-verse TV. Chung-Ho was the principal software developer scaling Nextag's search engine analytics system to the Internet scale. Most recently he led the next generation MPP analytics DBMS development at Teradata. He is currently an architect at Greenplum, a division of EMC, building next-generation Big Data analytics systems.
