Big Data Solutions Engineer
I own the audience data delivery platform end to end: transformation pipelines on Databricks and Delta Lake tuned to tight performance budgets, the orchestration layer that moves data through its full lifecycle, and the reliability work nobody sees until it breaks. Resumable transfers, connection hardening, data-integrity investigations across the full stack. Earlier I built the config-driven ingestion behind LCI, inMarket's closed-loop attribution platform for Fortune 500 advertisers.
