Yogesh Sharma — Associate Consultant
I am a Solution Architect and Big Data specialist with 17+ years of experience helping organizations design, build, and scale modern data platforms across APAC. My core expertise lies in architecting real-time and batch data solutions using the Hadoop and Kafka ecosystems, with deep experience in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), Confluent Platform, and Confluent Cloud for event-driven and real-time data processing. I work closely with customers to translate complex business requirements into scalable, high-performance data architectures that deliver measurable outcomes. Over the years, I have played a hybrid role across solution architecture, pre-sales, and customer success—leading architecture discussions, designing proof-of-concepts, and guiding enterprises through data platform modernization and cloud adoption journeys. What differentiates me is my ability to combine architecture with enablement. I have led large-scale technical training and certification programs, enabling teams to successfully adopt and operationalize modern data platforms. This allows me to not only design solutions, but also ensure they are understood, adopted, and scaled effectively. Key areas of expertise: • Solution Architecture for Big Data & Streaming Platforms • Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Confluent Platform & Confluent Cloud • Event-Driven & Distributed Systems Design • Data Pipelines, Data Lakes, and Modern Data Architectures • Pre-Sales, POCs, and Customer Engagement • Technical Enablement & Enterprise Training I enjoy working at the intersection of business and technology—partnering with stakeholders, solving complex data challenges, and enabling teams to succeed with modern data platforms.
