I know how to attract top tier engineers, build solid engineering teams, execute efficiently and deliver operable systems at scale. I have led managers and engineers across multiple engineering offices in different time zones Linkedin: Leading the platform teams responsible for creating highly scalable data, derived data, and infrastructure services that manage the entire lifecycle of Linkedin’s analytics infrastructure as a service. The team provides a powerful operations ecosystem that manages complexities of the multiple distributed systems underneath such as Hadoop, Spark, and Pinot. We operate at a massive scale powering close to 3000 critical feeds, managing multi-petabyte data lake, and consuming almost third of all of Linkedin’s offline compute capacity. The platform serves mission-critical systems such as targeting, machine learning experimentation, core data science and analytics and executive control plane.
