Presto is a widely adopted distributed SQL engine for federated querying across multiple data sources. With Presto, you can perform ad hoc querying of data in place, which helps solve challenges around time to discover and the amount of time it takes to do ad hoc analysis.

In this session, Dipti will introduce the Presto technology and share why it’s becoming so popular - in fact, companies like Facebook, Uber, Twitter, Alibaba and many more use Presto for interactive ad hoc queries, reporting & dashboarding, data lake analytics, and much more including job opportunities.

She’ll also share her career journey and how she arrived in her current role as co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Ahana, a Presto company. Dipti started her career at IBM as a software engineer and Development Manager for the DB2 server team, and since then has worked in deep database technologies including Couchbase (holding leadership positions in solutions engineering, product, and product marketing), Kinetica (VP Product Marketing), and Alluxio (VP of Product).
