Thanks everyone! I lead the News Search backend team at the London R&D office of Bloomberg. I have been at this job for a little more than 7 years, and joined straight from my university at IIT Madras, Chennai, India where I did my bachelors and masters in CS. I started working with Lucene/Solr around two and a half years back, when we decided to rewrite our entire search and alerting backend, something used by every Bloomberg subscriber to get near real-time access to news with sub-second search/alerting latencies. I have mostly dabbled with Solr's search distribution and cloud code since, and have had some "fun" experiences with it when SolrCloud was, well, let's say less mature.. :)
I consider myself a Linux geek/evangelist, and outside Java, still use Emacs and describe Lisp as a beautiful language (As for Java, was Eclipse, and then thanks Alan for showing me IntelliJ! :) ) On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 4:39 AM, Shalin Shekhar Mangar < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm pleased to announce that Ramkumar Aiyengar has accepted the PMC's > invitation to become a committer. > > Ramkumar, it's tradition that you introduce yourself with a brief bio. > > Your handle "andyetitmoves" has already added to the “lucene" LDAP group, > so you now have commit privileges.
