• System Architecture & Unification: Architected a unified pipeline framework by consolidating three disparate
dataswarm pipelines into a single codebase. Introduced the code abstraction to reduce redundancy, enable selective
builds(per component), and streamline developer workflows.
• Operational Leadership: Led daily war room sessions to resolve “data landing time” regressions, successfully reducing
latency to meet the <30h target (achieving 29.8h). Coordinated XFN teams to resolve root causes and improve
operational excellence.
• Infrastructure Efficiency & Cost Savings: Optimized SQL execution and resource usage across Batch A&A pipelines,
reducing compute consumption by ~58K BCU per day (approx. $175M annualized savings). Defined strategy for legacy
pipeline deprecation with projected additional savings of 113K BCU/day.
• Reliability & Release Engineering: Migrated pipelines to packaged deployments, resolving critical SEVs caused by
schema mismatches and improving system stability. Strengthened data quality with robust multi-layer fallback JSON
parsing and proactive column resolution logic.
• Code Quality & Testing: Drove engineering excellence by increasing unit test coverage to ~100% for critical packages.
Refactored testing logic and implemented comprehensive privacy compliance measures to ensure regulatory readiness.

• Architected the structure for translators, enhancing the system's scalability and adaptability.
• Developed a common library that integrated zerolog and implemented a custom EventBus to streamline processes.
• Designed and implemented a Solaris simulator using Go for the Solaris Translator, incorporating smart responses for different Solaris CLIs, value generators for diverse outputs, and a declarative syntax.
2017 — 2019
• Implemented robust protection mechanisms against automated brute-force attacks that involved millions of login/pass records from the distributed network of computers (botnet).
• Conducted in-depth analysis of suspicious activity by leveraging AWS Lambda, AWS Redshift, and Kinesis Stream/Firehose/Analytics.
• Designed and implemented Terraform modules to facilitate the deployment of AWS Redshift and Kinesis, which included the setup of monitoring and alarms.
• Engineered an automated build process for a customized web server with custom modules using Docker and Ansible.
• Developed an automated solution using Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD to replace the manual process of updating critical infrastructure elements.
• Optimized Jenkins jobs and build application processes, thereby enhancing the CI/CD process.
• Promoted the utilization of docker/docker-compose amongst developers in-house.
