Technical Director at ClickHouse. Creator of chDB — an in-process OLAP engine that was acquired by ClickHouse in 2024. I build databases, recommendation systems, and tools that make complex things simple.
In-process OLAP SQL engine powered by ClickHouse. Supports 60+ data formats, 334 SQL functions, and runs embedded in Python, Go, Rust, Node.js, Bun, and more — zero infrastructure needed.
A decentralized, Byzantine Fault Tolerant SQL database with blockchain features. DPoS + BFT-Raft consensus, immutable audit trail, column-level ACL — an open source alternative to Amazon QLDB.
A pure Go SQL database in ~2000 lines. B+Tree storage, volcano model planner, SQL parser — built from scratch for database theory research.
Pure Go PostgreSQL parser supporting SQL:2011 down to SQL-92. Used by Atlas, ByteBase, and other production tools.
Deep learning recommendation framework in Go. DeepFM, DNN, Deep Interest Network — with Item2vec embeddings and MovieLens benchmarks.
Slack-like messaging for AI agents with E2E encryption. Channels, sessions, threads, cron scheduling, debug panel — on Web, macOS, and iOS.
Menu-bar companion for headless Mac deployment. Virtual display, audio router, awake manager, system monitor — built for AI agent operations.
Three-layer memory system for AI agents. Hybrid semantic + keyword search, local-first with LAN sharing, built on chDB and local embeddings.
P2P file distribution tool, SCP-compatible. Designed for fast cluster-wide file transfer at scale.
I'm Auxten Wang, a database engineer and open source builder based in Singapore.
I created chDB — an embedded ClickHouse engine that lets you run full OLAP SQL anywhere without infrastructure. It started from a simple need: running ClickHouse in Jupyter Notebooks for ML model training instead of waiting on slow Hive clusters. chDB was acquired by ClickHouse Inc. in 2024, and I now work there full-time growing the project and its ecosystem across 7+ language bindings.
Before ClickHouse, I was Principal Engineer at Shopee, Cofounder & CTO of CovenantSQL (decentralized BFT database, 1,500+ stars), and RecSys & Infra Director at 4Paradigm. Earlier in my career, I was Technical Director at eLong, built cluster control for 30,000 servers at Qihoo 360, and created Gingko — Baidu's P2P dataset distribution system — writing 90% of the C++ code. Started my journey as an intern at Douban in 2009.
Lately, I've been exploring the intersection of databases and AI agents — building memory systems, RAG pipelines, and MCP integrations powered by ClickHouse.
