Vineeth Mohan is an architect and developer. He currently works as the CTO at Factweavers Technologies and is also an Elasticsearch-certified trainer.

He loves to spend time studying emerging technologies and applications related to data analytics, data visualizations, machine learning, natural language processing, and developments in search analytics. He began coding during his high school days, which later ignited his interest in computer science, and he pursued engineering at Model Engineering College, Cochin. He was recruited by the search giant Yahoo! during his college days. After 2 years of work at Yahoo! on various big data projects, he joined a start-up that dealt with search and analytics. Finally, he started his own big data consulting company, Factweavers.

Under his leadership and technical expertise, Factweavers is one of the early adopters of Elasticsearch and has been engaged with projects related to end-to-end big data solutions and analytics for the last few years.

There, he got the opportunity to learn various big-data-based technologies, such as Hadoop, and high-performance data ingress systems and storage. Later, he moved to a start-up in his hometown, where he chose Elasticsearch as the primary search and analytic engine for the project assigned to him.

Later in 2014, he founded Factweavers Technologies along with Jalaluddeen; it is consultancy that aims at providing Elasticsearch-based solutions. He is also an Elasticsearch-certified corporate trainer who conducts trainings in India. Till date, he has worked on numerous projects that are mostly based on Elasticsearch and has trained numerous multinationals on Elasticsearch.

I would like to thank Arun Mohan and my other friends who supported and helped me in completing this book. My unending gratitude goes to the light that guides me.
