Website

Alen Capalik is the founder and CEO of FASTDATA.io, producer of Plasma Engine, the first GPU-native software to fully leverage NVIDIA GPUs and Apache Arrow for real-time processing of infinite data in motion. As the chief architect of a cybersecurity software company, Alen was constantly hindered by CPU-bound data processing Java software like Spark and Hadoop. After exiting cybersecurity, he started experimenting with processing streaming data through GPUs instead of CPUs and saw amazing potential to process data much faster and more efficiently, which inspired him to found FASTDATA.io.
