There is an art<\/span> to engineering, and sometimes engineering can transform art. For Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis, those two worlds collided when they created the widely successful open-source graphics program, GIMP, as college students at Berkeley.<\/p>\n

That project was so successful that when the two joined Google in 2002, Sergey Brin and Larry Page personally stopped by to tell the new hires how much they liked it and explained how they used the program to create the first Google logo.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In terms of good fortune in the corporate hierarchy, when you get this type of recognition in a company such as Google, there\u2019s only one way you can go \u2014 up. They went from rising stars to stars at Google, becoming the go-to guys on the Infrastructure Team. They could easily have looked forward to a lifetime of lucrative employment.<\/p>\n

But Kimball, Mattis and another Google employee, Ben Darnell, wanted more \u2014 a company of their own. To realize their ambitions, they created Cockroach Labs, the business entity behind their ambitious open-source database CockroachDB. Can some of the smartest former engineers in Google\u2019s arsenal upend the world of databases in a market spotted with the gravesites of storage dreams past? That\u2019s what we are here to find out.<\/p>\n

Mattis and Kimball were roommates at Berkeley majoring in computer science in the early-to-mid-1990s. In addition to their usual studies, they also became involved with the eXperimental Computing Facility<\/a> (XCF), an organization of undergraduates who have a keen, almost obsessive interest in CS.<\/p>\n
