About Me
Technologist, Ethnographer, Leader, Experimenter and Maker of Big Data Things
I’m a software developer, people leader and solution designer focused on solving business data problems.
I help businesses turn data into action. I create reliable systems that scale to petabytes. I work with transactional systems to design efficient data models. I solve tricky ingestion problems with and without streaming. I build pipelines that speed the delivery of useful data. I optimize analytics for cost and performance. I manage and automate operations to ensure reliability and reduce risk. I code tools and visualizations to deliver actionable insights to the business. Lastly, when time permits I play around with agent-based models, neural networks and kernel methods.
Beyond sexy ML hotness and dramatic visualizations, is the daily grind of making data useful.
Because the Data, like Spice, must flow.
