Transitioning to Decooda

Some of you know about the MPP big-data platform that I have been developing at my other venture with Decooda.com. It turns out that there is a lot of interest in this platform, not only from an advanced linguistic analysis perspective but also as a stand-alone big data platform.

The momentum has been significant. We are addressing a space that processes unstructured and structured data in real-time. The Decooda MPP Grid platform has the potential to be a game changer for the big data industry.

Hacking Vertica

I love innovation because of both the rewards and challenges that it brings. I have a passion for technology and love to experiment. I guess that I have grown up a little bit. Instead of taking my toaster apart, I simply watch the TV show “How it’s Made”.

When it comes to software though, I feel out
