Gábor E. Gévay is a Hungarian computer scientist and senior software engineer at Materialize, where he works on query optimization. He earned his PhD at the Database Systems and Information Management (DIMA) group at TU Berlin, publishing on iteration and control flow in distributed dataflow systems (Apache Flink). As a student he competed for Hungary at the International Olympiad in Informatics, winning a bronze medal at IOI 2009.

• Won bronze for Hungary at IOI 2009 in Plovdiv (100-point solves on poi, raisins, garage), ranking among the medalists.Aug 2009
• Now Senior Software Engineer at Materialize on query optimization (own X bio) - a move from dataflow research into the optimizer core of a streaming database, applying the same iteration theme.
• PhD at TU Berlin DIMA group (with Juan Soto and Volker Markl); his 'Handling Iterations in Distributed Dataflow Systems' survey became a reference taxonomy for iteration in Flink/MapReduce-style systems.Jul 2021
• Email ggab90 at gmail dot com published on his and Gabor Danner's Malom project page; the '90' suffix matches a ~2009 high-school contestant, corroborating the IOI identity.
• GitHub @ggevay lists MaterializeInc as org, Budapest as location, twitter @ggevay and site inf.u-szeged.hu/~danner/mills, cross-linking code, employer, X and university into one verified identity loop.
• Contributed to Apache Flink (serializer/comparator code-generation paper; JIRA FLINK-3291 fix), linking his iteration/control-flow research to production stream-processing internals before joining Materialize.Jun 2017
• Co-built 'Malom' with Gabor Danner - an exhaustive solver (ultra-strong/extended solutions) for Nine Men's Morris and variants, i.e. game-theoretic tablebase work.
• Repos include 'emma' (quotation-based Scala DSL for data analysis) and 'mitos' alongside 'malom', spanning research DSLs and game solving.
