After 8.5 years at CareerBuilder – most recently as Director of Engineering over search, recommendations, and data analytics, I’m making an exciting transition to join Lucidworks as their new Senior Vice President of Engineering. While it’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye to my amazing team and colleagues at CareerBuilder, I also couldn’t be more excited to be joining such an industry leader in the Search and Information Retrieval space.

What attracted me to Lucidworks is the opportunity to work with visionaries in the search space building search technology that will help the masses derive intelligence from their data both at scale and in the tail. Search is a really hard problem, and I’m excited to be in great company trying to solve that problem well.

For more details about this move, check out my introduction interview with Lucidworks:

  • When did you first get started working with Apache Lucene?
  • How has search evolved over the past couple years? Where do you think it’ll be in the next 10?
  • What do you find most exciting in the current search technology landscape?
  • Where are the biggest challenges in the search space?
  • What attracted you to Lucidworks?
  • What will you be working on at Lucidworks?

Thanks for the warm welcome, Lucidworks! I’m incredibly excited to be working with such a top-notch team at Lucidworks, and am looking forward to building out what will be the most scalable, dependable, easy to use, and highly relevant search product on the market.
