Eric Allen Brewer is professor emeritus of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley[1] and vice-president of infrastructure at Google.[2] His research interests include operating systems and distributed computing. He is known for formulating the CAP theorem about distributed network applications in the late 1990s.[3]
In 1996, Brewer co-founded Inktomi Corporation (bought by Yahoo! in 2003) and became a paper billionaire during the dot-com bubble.[4] Working with the United States federal government during the presidency of Bill Clinton, he helped to create USA.gov, which launched in 2000.[5] His research also included a wireless networking scheme called WiLDNet, which promises to bring low-cost connectivity to rural areas of the developing world.[6] He has worked at Google since 2011.[7]
