I am a committer on Apache Lucene/Solr since 2008 as well as a member of the Lucene/Solr project management committee. I currently work at Lucidworks Inc. on Apache Solr and Lucidworks Search mostly on the SolrCloud side of things. In the past, I've worked at AOL for five years on vertical search, content management systems, social/community platforms and anti-spam systems as well as AOL WebMail's Inbox Search system which uses a highly customized version of Apache Solr to service tens of millions of users and more than a billion index/search operations a day. I also help organize the Bangalore Apache Solr/Lucene Meetup Group which has 350+ members and holds regular meetings of people interested in Lucene, Solr and search in general. Besides numerous meetups, I've spoken at the Fifth Elephant 2014, Great Indian Developer Summit 2014 and BigDataCloud Conference India 2014.
