Co-founded with Michael Behrisch. Our mission is to make graph data analysis accessible, transparent, and easy with user-friendly applications that link and simplify complex datasets. GraphPolaris strives to help people across different industries use advanced analytics effortlessly, ensuring that everyone can make informed decisions with clarity and ease.
Co-founded with Mike Stonebraker (MIT) based on the PhD thesis of Wenbo Tao. Hopara originated from Wenbo's Kyrix project (Kyrix, Kyrix-S, Kyrix-J), a scalable visualization technology designed to handle billions of records. Hopara visualizes operations from connected machines and environments that generate a tsunami of underused information.
