After consulting with SQAD LLC for over a year, I am joining the team in a more permanent role as the "Director of Enterprise Architecture".I'll be focusing all my energy on providing the team with a clear direction, well defined requirements, and a strong vision of future goals and objectives to ensure the best utilization of our teams time.I'll continue to oversee our Distributed Processing Framework (an original work, very proud of this) built utilizing Hadoop concepts to create a highly distributed processing framework with status, ETA's, job canceling, hierarchical dependencies, caching, language agnostic and with advanced logging for monitoring.I'll also continue to oversee Elasticsearch custom distributed processing plugins (also an original work, also proud) created to leverage Elasticsearch Data as a distributed processing framework similar to Hadoop in performing real-time analytics against our 32+TB of data (and growing by magnitudes fast).I'm very excited to work for SQAD and I'm excited to see what great things we will build next.
