Mclean, Va, Us

I make working with DSE-Cassandra a even more seamless and easy experience by leading a team of engineers that extend, design, and implement the same internal DSE-Cassandra infrastructure management platform I had been working on previously. This platform is considered to be part of the core suite of infrastructure management platforms at Capital One. It continues to be utilized by teams throughout the enterprise to automate the provisioning, rehydration, configuration, destruction, and recovery of data (in the case of disaster) for DSE-Cassandra clusters, housing critical customer data and beyond.
