A Software Engineer / Architect / Team-lead with experience in Start-ups as well as Fortune-100 companies.

I have architected / built horizontally scalable back-ends atop NoSQL DBs, Big-data platforms, distributed RESTful API services. I have hired / managed small-to medium size teams. I have proven ability to jump into new projects and learn new technologies quickly. My passion lies in building great products while enabling others to perform their roles more effectively.

I am particularly interested in piecing together popular open source components and add proprietary technologies that address various elements of the streaming pipeline (move, refine, store, analyze, visualize, reprocess).*
