Arsalan Tavakoli-Shiraji

Arsalan Tavakoli-Shiraji possessed a highly elite, deeply academic background in advanced computer science and complex distributed systems. Having successfully conducted highly rigorous research at UC Berkeley's prestigious AMPLab, this incredibly intense foundation in massive-scale data processing provided the exact technical mastery required to successfully execute Databricks' incredibly complex enterprise field engineering strategy.

Arsalan Tavakoli-Shiraji is a highly distinguished computer scientist and the massively influential co-founder fundamentally responsible for executing the early field engineering of Databricks, one of the absolute largest enterprise AI and data platforms in the world. Operating as a deeply brilliant researcher out of UC Berkeley's legendary AMPLab, Tavakoli-Shiraji aggressively partnered with Ali Ghodsi, Matei Zaharia, and the rest of the original Apache Spark creators in 2013 to commercialize the incredibly disruptive open-source framework. Serving in highly critical field engineering and customer success roles, he completely bridged the gap between the startup's highly complex academic algorithms and massive enterprise deployment. By relentlessly architecting scalable data solutions for some of the world's absolute largest corporations, he completely secured the intense commercial adoption required to permanently cement Databricks as an absolute multi-billion dollar software monopoly.
