I'm a data engineer with over a decade of experience working with data across various industries, including Telcos and Financial Services in South Africa and EMEA.
🔱 Like a digital Neptune I have navigated the tumultous seas of small and big data, from the stormy shores of SAS, through the vast ocean of on-premise Hadoop and on to the cloud-kissed heights of AWS. I've shaped raw data into pearls of wisdom for decision-makers.
Evidently, I can also use Chat-GPT.
⚡ I am proficient in Python, PySpark, Terraform and SQL.
I have spent hours coaxing enterprise Hadoop into submission, wrangling with data, partitioning and re-partitioning.... and copying data from A to B, then B to C, then from C back to A. Yes, they pay me for that.
💬 When I'm not knee-deep designing data arctitecture or processing petabytes of data, you can find me pondering life's great questions. Like whether Kerberos would produce a better error message if I first sacrificied a few lambs (unfortunately none of his three heads posses the gift and curse of speech).
I possess excellent technical skills, with the ability to pick up new technologies quickly.
🔭 Currently I head up Data Engineering at cloudandthings.io , and oversee various data engineering projects. I've also developed a tool that I'm quite proud of to sync petabytes of data in near-realtime.
