𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 • Full-Stack Sales-Eng: handling discovery, evaluation (MR/Spark/Pandas/etc.), production delivery (Custom Data Pipelines & Automation in Airflow), and ongoing support.• Evolution of technology use: Map Reduce in Pearl/Python on Hadoop → SQL submittedvia beeline → directly on HUE → Athena, BigQuery, SQL Analytics on Snowflake.• At home in *nix environments, working with APIs, troubleshooting cloud deployments, doing ETL work in Python, or exploring a new data warehouse. • Factual was an open-source build-it-yourself company. If you needed something custom to run periodically for a client-delivery, you'd write your own docker container, and schedule it on Chronos. Eventually, we simplified and ran Airflow. Writing jobs for that was faster and easier to monitor.• When Factual merged into Foursquare, I trained their post-sales team on these deliveries and focused even more on pre-sales.
