Wes McKinney

Since 2007, I have been creating fast, easy-to-use data wrangling and statistical computing tools, mostly in the Python programming language. I am best known for creating the pandas project and writing the book Python for Data Analysis. I am also a contributor to the Apache Arrow, Kudu, and Parquet projects within the Apache Software Foundation. I am currently the CTO and Co-founder of Voltron Data, which builds accelerated computing technologies powered by Apache Arrow. I previously worked for Ursa Labs (within RStudio / Posit), Two Sigma, Cloudera, DataPad, and AQR Capital Management.
