Manager of six scrum teams. The six teams I manage are: data engineering team which does data migration from SQL to HBase as well as finishing datamart (DM)1,0 using kubernetes, hive, spark, and hadoop. We will be moving to DM 2.0 using AWS cloud native tools ( data lake, athenta, glue, lambda, kafka, sagemaker, etc) The HBase/hdfs operational team that resolves Hbase/hdfs issues in non-production and production environments. The kafka operational team that resolves kafka issues in non-production and production environments. The SQL database team that resolves SQL issues in non-production and production environments as well as data optimization of the databases. The data warehouse team that helps our internal customers build reports. The last team is the machine language and artificial intelligence team. Lastly, I work with the product owner and data strategy leader on the roadmap and vision across all six teams, work with the program manager to ensure teams are hitting their dates and objectives, partner with Leadership on funding, and look for synergy opportunities within the teams and across the business unit.
