Welcome to my blog

Hi!

I’m Joris, a programmer and database enthusiast. I’m currently a Staff Software Engineer at a company that builds time series analytics software.

Why am I starting this blog? Because of the evolution of database technologies and the new possibilities they bring. In this space, I’ll explore topics related to database architecture, time series, query languages, composable data systems, and programming in general.

The recent emergence of technologies like Apache Arrow & DataFusion, DuckDB, and the data lakehouse architecture has made building custom databases more accessible than ever. These innovations are reshaping the data landscape, and I’m excited to delve into them and share my findings with you.

Everything on this blog represents my personal views, evolving over time. I hope my writing inspires you to explore these topics further and perhaps even challenge my perspectives. Feel free to reach out with your thoughts, questions, or suggestions—I’d love to hear from you!
