Responsible for developing and implementing an Instrumentation as a Service platform processing 10K records per second from 1K applications using 30+ analytic models. Business partners are able to send logging and other asset monitoring data to the system in json as a file, through a web service or directly to Kafka. This data is processed through our lambda architecture with HBase as the speed layer and both Hive and Impala (using Parquet) as the data layer. Kamanja servers as the real-time decisioning support engine, implementing the models on data at rest and in real time.Introduced and implemented a POC for using blockchain for data governance using Hyperledger for the chaincode and HBase for the off-blockchain storage, extending the use of HBase's cell-level tagging to implement an eventual trust pattern. Completed POCs to replace our current system with a home-grown Spark implementation built with Scalding using the Akka/Play framework. Additional POCs involved Cassandra for faster ingestion and easier reporting access to the real time layer as well as MemSQL to provide a single data repository for speed and batch. I've also implemented potential alternatives to the enterprise platforms using Docker, Kubernetes and Mesos. Worked with the process of evaluating and onboarding FinTech companies.Using Spring Boot and MongoDB, I built an early detection and response system that monitored Zookeeper, Kafka, HDFS, HBase, Hive, Spark and Kamanja. These microservices formed a unified platform called Level Zero to detect and resolve issues before they were raised by Level One support, substantially lowering the cost of ownership for these systems.
