Contributions to field of Big Data[edit]
He has spoken often at major data conferences including O'Reilly Strata[3][6][4]. He spoke at NYU in 2013 about the challenges in a large-scale data ecosystem [19]. KDNuggets featured his views[9] on major challenges & trends in enterprise Big Data implementations, and advantages of using Apache Spark.
Inventions[edit]
His inventions are both related to user interactions on web pages. One proposes an approach to correlate different types on activity on a webpage while the other is in the area of tracking beacons. These approaches are widely used to deliver web content in a manner that preserves consistency across a large number of webpages on behalf of a user. [20] [21]
