About gdotv
Who are we?
Built by graph people, for graph people
gdotv is managed by a small team in Scotland who aim to help developers and data engineers do their best work with graph technology. Read on to learn more about us.
Meet the team
Arthur Bigeard
CEO & Founder
Arthur Bigeard discovered and grew a passion for graph databases in previous roles, which he then channeled into the making of gdotv. His mission is to create a universal, plug-and-play graph database client to simplify and accelerate the day-to-day tasks of graph data professionals.
Dr. Seyed Amir Hosseini Beghaeiraveri
Data Scientist
Amir Hosseini holds a PhD in Computer Science from Heriot-Watt University and recently completed his postdoctoral fellowship in Large-Scale Nested Data Processing at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics. He brings several years of experience in graph-based structures and semantic web technologies to the team, with a focus on data processing and validation. As a long-time RDF user, he leads the continuous design and implementation of solutions for RDF/SPARQL users at gdotv.
Dr. Amber Lennox
Developer Relations Engineer
Amber Lennox manages developer relations at gdotv. With a PhD in astrophysics, Amber is particularly drawn to the mathematical aspects of graph theory and the scientific applications of graph databases. When not deep-diving into documentation, Amber can be found wild swimming in questionable weather and working on personal projects like developing software for language learning.
Joe Stainke
Developer
Joe Stainke is a developer at gdotv. As a newcomer to the graph database industry, he brings fresh perspectives on how the team can improve adoption of graph technology for the masses.
Edouard Roufay
Senior Frontend Engineer
Edouard Roufay is a Senior Frontend Engineer at gdotv, with a background in Computer Science. He previously worked in the fashion and sports industries. At gdotv, he works on the frontend of the platform, helping build and improve the user interface. Graph databases are a new area for him. Outside of work, Edouard enjoys traveling and keeping active.
Our story
gdotv (pronounced “gee dot vee”) began as a side project when founder Arthur Bigeard needed better tools to work with JanusGraph and the Apache TinkerPop framework.
He originally called it G.V(). After a public beta release, vendors and users in the wider Apache TinkerPop ecosystem echoed the desire for better tooling. This gap in the marketplace led to the incorporation of gdotv Ltd.
gdotv grew widely in compatibility across property graph and RDF space, while the team continued developing unique features for individual query languages and databases, such as the first Gremlin debugger, and SPARQL schema guardrails.
After three years as a profitable, bootstrapped startup, gdotv accepted its first-cheque, pre-seed investment round from Techstart Ventures in December 2025. gdotv also expanded from its original product, a universal graph IDE targeted at developers, into a suite of graph tools for users of all types.
Today, the gdotv team is hard at work building and improving graph technology for the future.
