Melanie Plageman

Melanie is a developer at Pivotal working on Greenplum, a massively parallel fork of Postgres. She started as a Postgres user, and, after developing a C-language extension for enhanced string formatting, became interested in hacking on Postgres. She has worked primarily on the planner and executor in Greenplum so far. She is passionate both about making Greenplum fast and stable and about building the tools and processes to make it easier for new contributors to start hacking on Postgres and Greenplum.
