Consultant of the CEOGuide the Product Manager and engineers in creating the product, codenamed Graviton, for the new generation of the Gravity 2.0 Data Mesh platform.Introduce the formal Scrum Agile Process for product development.Lead and guide the engagement with academic organizations, specifically the National Taipei University of Technology, to enrich the company's capabilities in software QA and CI/CD and Deep Learning, such as RAG for Gravity.About Gravity 2.0: it is a microservice platform converting traditional data (such as databases) into the concept of Data Products, which can then be utilized and added values through concepts like Data Catalog or Data Market. Gravity provides the capability of DB CDC (Change Data Capture) and efficient data pipelines based on NATS. The platform is built on top of (but not limited to) the powerful and flexible Kubernetes container environment and VMs. Gravity also provides a visual programming environment, namely Atomic, based on NodeRed, for the data owners and users to easily create data flows (i.e. data pipelines) as a combination of microservices for the application logic by way of No-Code or Low-Code.
