Our Company
Modern Data Infrastructure Delivered
Onehouse delivers a new bedrock for your data, through a cloud-native, fully-managed lakehouse service built on Apache Hudi. Onehouse makes it possible to blend the ease of use of a warehouse with the scale of a data lake. Now you can build your lake in minutes, process your data in seconds, and own your data in open formats instead of being locked away to individual vendors.
Our Leadership
Put a face to the name
Vinoth Chandar is the creator and PMC chair of the Apache Hudi project, a seasoned distributed systems/database engineer and a dedicated entrepreneur. During his time at Uber he created Hudi, which pioneered transactional data lakes as we know them today, as a way to solve unique needs of speed and scale for Uber’s massive data platform. Applying his unique perspectives and deep experience with databases, distributed-systems and data systems at planet-scale, strengthened through his work at Oracle, Linkedin, Uber and Confluent, Vinoth founded Onehouse - a cloud-native managed lakehouse service that makes data lakes easier, faster, and cheaper.
Although significant strides have been made since he built Hudi, Vinoth recognizes there is a lack of scalable, cost-efficient, standardized data infrastructure that cripples many data organizations. Your data infrastructure should scale without needing an army of highly skilled engineers to operate and most importantly, your data should be owned by you. That’s exactly what Vinoth has built here at Onehouse.
Gaetan Castelein runs the Go-To-Market team at Onehouse. He loves working alongside passionate founders with a strong product vision to build enduring companies and GTM teams. He was previously at Tecton, where he contributed to the creation of the Feature Platform category, and helped customers solve their data challenges for real-time ML. He was also an early team member at Confluent and Cohesity, supporting their growth from early product introduction to mainstream adoption.
Kyle Weller has been on the front lines helping enterprises embrace the lakehouse architecture for the last 3 years as a Product lead for Azure Databricks. While scaling the product from launch to the fastest growing analytics service on Azure, Kyle saw firsthand how hard it still is for engineers to build DIY data lake infrastructure. He is now leveraging his experience building data products and platforms to tackle this challenge head-on at Onehouse.
Varun Madan is passionate about and has a proven track record of building large scale distributed systems, scaling engineering teams and delivering software solutions that enable builders. Varun spent 8 years at AWS building the early EC2 systems and several other AWS products. He led the Container Orchestration and Serverless products at Oracle Cloud. At Confluent, he led the Stream Processing and Connect organizations.
Tiffany Jordan is a passionate “builder” of companies, enabling the all-important 0 to 1 journey. She developed a soft spot for startups when she discovered the startup scene in Texas. In her words, Tiffany instantly “clicked” with Onehouse and its mission. She previously ran comms and admin for Rice University's innovation hub in Houston. At Onehouse, she focuses on talent while also managing global business operations.
Nilesh Mahajan is an entrepreneur at heart, drawn to Onehouse by the enormity of the vision and the profound impact we can have on the future of data. While a staff engineer on Uber’s core marketplace platform, he built several mission critical platform services including the real-time push messaging platform used by all of Uber’s mobile applications. As a founding engineer at Onehouse, Nilesh leads the platform engineering team.
Rajesh Mahindra is passionate about working on deep and challenging systems engineering projects. Rajesh led the Mobile Networking team at Uber, that worked on cutting edge projects like optimizing Uber’s mobile traffic over complex cellular networks across the globe, deploying one of the industry’s first QUIC/http3 deployments at scale. He is excited about pushing the state-of-the-art for data lakes at Onehouse, through Apache Hudi and Onehouse’s managed data services.
