Jean-Georges “jgp” Perrin is passionate about data; yes, that’s a real thing. As chair of the Linux Foundation’s Bitol project, he leads efforts to establish open global standards for modern data engineering, including the Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS) and the Open Data Product Standard (ODPS), helping organizations bring a little more order to the natural chaos of data. Actian’s CTO Office is where he pretends to have a normal job.
He is the author of books on data mesh, Apache Spark, and architecture modernization with O’Reilly and Manning, is currently writing Building Data Products (O’Reilly), and also publishes a “for all ages” series that makes complex data concepts accessible to everyone.
With over 25 years of IT experience, Jean-Georges has been recognized as a Lifetime IBM Champion and has spoken at more than 190 international conferences. He regularly shares ideas and experiments on his blog at jgp.ai.
Outside his professional life, he enjoys exploring scenic and historic Pennsylvania with his wife, proving that even people who think about data all day occasionally go outside.
