As a Principal Engineer and Tech Lead within the TripAdvisor Data Platform team I am responsible for expanding and maintaining our home-grown ETL orchestration engine (built with Kotlin, Java, & Spring Boot), administering our Snowflake instance, and building tools and utilities to support both Data and Product Engineering teams. I played a pivotal role in the migration from our on-prem Hadoop cluster to a purely cloud based data lake composed primarily of Snowflake and S3; this included the development of zero-etl / change-data-capture based solutions for propagating data from OLTP databases into Snowflake. I have been very active in TripAdvisor’s adoption of Working Groups to increase engineering excellence. Specifically I am a founding member in both the Data Working Group and the Domain Working Group. The Data Working Group aims to standardize, promote, and enforce data best practices across the Data, Product, and Engineering organizations. Similarly the Domain Working Group has created a set of guidelines and best practices relating to domain boundaries and domain-to-domain interactions. I specifically have helped bridge the gap between our Engineering organizations pursuit of domain-driven-design and our Data Organization's utilization of a Data Mesh based architecture.

I was brought in to Transfix to lead an existing Data Warehouse team and a newly formed Looker admin/BI team within the Data Organization.After some organizational changes I ended up splitting my time primarily between managing our remaining Data Engineers, building DBT models, Airflow DAGs, and handling Looker administration tasks.

While at TripAdvisor I wore many hats over the year including as a Technical Manager for the Data Warehouse Team, Individual Contributor on the Analytics & Measurement team, and Tech Lead for Mobile Analytics. These roles gave me the opportunity to work on multiple interesting projects including:• Using Spark GraphX to build out a cross-device data set mapping users across multiple devices• Building a Multi-Touch Attribution revenue model in Hive allowing revenue from one session to be attributed appropriately to earlier sessions• Adding Quality Control mechanisms to our mobile tracking• Working on our streaming configuration-driven ETL engine.• Work with a multitude of interesting technologies including Hive, Snowflake, Redshift, Spark and Kafka.

I served as a software developer within the vTelemetry team at VMware. I was working on a prototype analytics platform designed specifically for software engineers to analyze telemetry data collected by their products. My focus during the project was on the development of (1) a backend processing engine built ontop of Apache Spark, (2) a just-in-time data model which seamlessly accesses data from a local in-memory cache or a remote MongoDB instance, and (3) a Javascript/HTML 5 GUI providing the engineer with an interactive analytics solution.

As a Software Engineer / Staff Scientist within the Distributed Systems group at BBN my responsibilities included business development, customer interactions, writing proposals, publishing papers and of course performing research. I served as the Technical Lead on several research projects focused around Information Management Systems (IMS) capable of providing rich pub-sub-query functionality. I have also contributed to work in the areas of design modification tools, spatial computing, trusted computing, and cross-domain research. Highly scalable computing, i.e., Big Data, has been the focus of several research projects I had been involved with at BBN. I served as the Technical Lead on SCIMITAR where we prototyped a distributed pub-sub-query information management system (built using Storm and MongoDB) and demonstrated horizontal scalability within Amazon EC2. I was also brought onto BBAC to increase the projects scalability by migrating the pre-processing, SVM training, classification, and data storage to Big Data platforms, namely Storm, Hadoop, and Accumulo.Additionally, I served as the Information Knowledge Technology representative on an inter-departmental Big Data working group.
