Jonathan M Hsieh is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "As a tech lead for HBase, Jon did an incredible job reducing the defect and failure rate. He managed to steer it from being one of the flakiest and hard-to-support components to one of the more trustworthy. This was a huge win for the HBase project, for users, and for Cloudera. And it was accomplished by a long period of careful diligent engineering and good liaison with the support team. Jon is one of the people I would most trust most to build a trustworthy distributed system." and "Jon is a rare gem in the professional world. A unique blend of awe-inspiring technical depth alongside welcoming and succinct communication and strong teamwork.
