For organizations with dynamic data centers and networks, Apache Spot is an advanced threat detection solution that uses big data analytics, that perform at cloud scale, to provide actionable insights into operational and security threats. Running on Apache Hadoop, Apache Spot can analyze billions of events in order to detect unknown threats, insider threats, and gain a new level of visibility into the network.

I am a Committer and PPMC member on Apache Sentry. Apache Sentry is a highly modular system for providing fine grained role based authorization to both data and metadata stored on an Apache Hadoop cluster.

I am a committer on Apache Bigtop project. It's a project responsible for packaging various projects in the Hadoop ecosystem into a single coherent cutting-edge distribution. It also responsible for integration and interoperability testing of various projects in the Hadoop ecosystem. One of our end goals is to make Bigtop the de-facto reference for getting Hadoop and related projects introduced into most Linux distributions.http://bigtop.apache.org/

I am a contributor to Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache Sqoop, Apache Pig, and Apache Flume - having contributed code to all these projects

Product Manager at Lyft.

I am a software engineer on Spark at Cloudera. My main area of focus is streaming engines, in particular, Spark Streaming. I was responsible for leading the effort to deliver Spark 2 to Cloudera customers. Previously, I was the team lead for the Packaging and Integration team at Cloudera. The Packaging and Integration team is responsible for integrating various components in the Hadoop ecosystem into a single coherent distribution. This involves integration the components with each other (for example, Hive's integration with HCatalog and Hadoop) but also integration of the same components with underlying infrastructure (JVM, Operating System). We are also responsible for developing rpm/debian packages and a custom open source format (parcel) for distributing Cloudera software. I contributed significantly to the re-design of the package versioning scheme for Cloudera's software for latest major release.I am also the technical lead for Cloudera Labs initiative where we cutting edge projects that are not currently a part of our supported offerings e.g. Kafka.I have also won (along with my friend and then co-worker, Jarcec Cecho) a few company hackathons during my tenure at Cloudera.

I worked on transitioning OANDA's marketing data from existing standalone database to next generation infrastructure for scalable and flexible storage of massive amounts of data. I used, implemented and enhanced many open source projects for this purpose: Apache Hadoop and Apache Hive. We leveraged much of the functionality provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for our deployment and testing. I also contributed to the Apache Hive mailing list and Apache Hive community wiki.I also designed and developed portlets in Java and JavaScript for Liferay portal (on MVC framework) to share business intelligence derived from company data. I also leveraged open sources libraries like HighCharts to display information on Liferay portal.The Big Data transition also involved creating new and updating existing web data related ETL processes, implementing marketing attribution algorithms, generating new metrics and insights from the big data infrastructure that were previously unavailable and supporting other members of the team in their transition to the new infrastructure.This new infrastructure allows the Business Intelligence team to access, aggregate and present web and marketing data in a coherent, intelligent form and enable the stakeholders to make informed business and marketing decisions based on it. The team is responsible for extracting the data from the logs and campaigns, transforming and aggregating the data into different forms and presenting the data in forms of charts and reports to the stakeholders.I also gave team-wide and company-wide presentations on the basics and usage of Hadoop, Hive and other big data technologies within the company.

I worked as a Embedded Software Engineer at Qualcomm Inc. where I was a member of the Telephony team for Symbian and Android Operating Systems. The Telephony team is responsible for designing, implementing, testing and supporting a licensee software layer connecting Qualcomm's proprietary modem interface with a High Level Operating System interface (like Symbian, Android, Windows Phone, etc.). I was the owner of SIM Phonebook whereby I designed, developed, tested and supported the functionality of SIM Phonebook on Qualcomm's Android and Symbian devices. SIM Phonebook allows users to store their contacts on SIM memory instead of or in conjunction with phone's flash memory.I saw a need for better documentation of the version of various modem services available on Qualcomm modem builds. Consequently, I initiated and developed a Perl project to index the version numbers of various modem services present on modem builds. I also applied a HTML frontend to it so others could access it. This interface allowed developers, testers and team leads to quickly determine the service version present in a given modem build. The front end and the perl service is being used by more than 100 people in the modem apps team.

I contributed towards the development and maintenance of the accounting system of a freight forwarding company as a part-time job while still in school. This web based accounting system was developed in C# and used MS SQL Server as it's database backend.The projects I worked on included dashboards for management's viewing, company segmentation for business efficiency, operational templates for dynamic report creation, standalone windows application as an exporting tool for the existing accounting system, optimizing SQL queries, improved connection management (connection pooling and leaked connection detection) among many others others.

I worked as an Embedded Software Developer on Qualcomm's Brew Mobile Platform. As a part of the Digital Rights Management (DRM) team, I automated the internal granting, validation and rendering of protected content Qualcomm's flagship OS to save testing time.

National Business and Technology Conference (NBTC) is an annual Canadian national conference that aims at bringing together the ever intertwining fields of business and technology. Every year, more than 150 attendees attend the conference from all over Canada.My role as the logistics director of NBTC 2008 was to consider, choose and contract all resources required by the conference - venues, food, social events, hotel accomodation, stationary and more.

As a part of Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), I contributed to research on Soft Processors under Professor Greg Steffan at University of Toronto. I researched on the how the architecture of Soft Processors (processors on FPGAs instead of traditional set-in-stone architectures) impacts the performance of various benchmarks, and compared and contrasted the hypothesized results with actual experimental results.
