Hey 👋 I'm aheev

I build data infrastructure and storage systems, with a focus on graph + columnar architectures and practical performance.

My recent work and contributions span:

• Graph databases & query stacks: ladybug, lance-graph, bugscope, graph benchmark suites
• Storage formats & data infra: lance, lancedb, iceberg
• Language bindings & ecosystem tooling: ladybug-* and icebug-* bindings across Rust, Python, Node.js, Java, and C

💼 Open to freelance work in data infrastructure / storage projects.

• 🚀 Built and maintained OSS around graph engines and columnar storage
• 🧪 Created benchmarking suites to compare graph/database systems
• 🧩 Shipped cross-language SDK/binding work to improve adoption

• icebug-format - CSR based standard Graph Format
• ladybug — graph database core
• icebug — zero-copy columnar storage focus
• lance-graph — graph queries with Lance
• bugscope — graph visualization UI
