Contractor from InsightGlobal, Inc.

Senoir Hadoop Engineer

Role requires a Big Data Dev/Ops - Hadoop Engineer to flush-out, create, warehouse, and perform issue-resolution and tracking activities surrounding stream ingestion and ETL framework development (with readiness testing) and automation production deploys of scripted workflow integrations. These included products lines for Global Sales Force, Actimize, Featurespace, and Brighterion. Additionally, optimization of various bodies of code contained within Spark-Scala and (Linux) Bash Shell scripts were performed; between a duel-versioned Cloudera/Hortonworks (IBM Insight merge/upgrade) Hadoop ecosystem with global geo-location reach. These include TWS, Oozie, Scoop, and ETL (Spark-Scala & DataStage) processes within Enterprise Hadoop/Linux structured datacenters. Furthermore, activities included adhering to version control practices in SVN/GitHub Enterprise and educating two multi-national (technical) ownership teams. Daily routines were led by Agile-Scrum (SAFE) management strategy meetings, Data architecture solution provisioning, incident troubleshooting, plus (Dev/Ops style) code developing & testing practices. With daily-reporting and leadership/client-facing communications were a major part of operations. Finally, other activities included minor Hadoop administration, (IRIS) ServiceNOW ticket processing/handling and daily Rally/Confluence logging as part of ongoing support, training, and team building opportunities.

Code creation/optimization for business customer ETL and stream ingestion (java-based) open-sourced or proprietary framework pieces.

SIS, LLC. Mar. '2018 - Oct. ‘2018

Cloud Infrastructure Developer

Role responsibilities required the setup, administrator, testing and development of multiple cloud-based environments hosted within geo-located data centers. This included all necessary deployment documentation of all End-to-End required process steps. These data centers utilize secure Cloud-hosted vSphere Lab and Production environments. My primary purpose was demonstrating technologies, their toolchain and dependencies, and teaching best-practises, industrial standards, API implementation and code execution examples to leadership and clients for marketing these platforms as SaaS. Work performed on these projects include:

•Creation of entire Jenkins CI/CD pipeline for Automation of Puppet Master executions.

•Complete Hadoop/YARN Clustered toolchain, with Spark job, R libraries, and Scala job executions. Also included DB and Apache Tomcat security and hosting.

•POC evaluation of ObjectStorage platforms, including SwiftStack, NetAPP's StorageGRID, and Cloudian. Including installation, configuration, and API method-call testing using AWS S3 API and wrapper curl CLI and web-based (Postman/Newman) API calls.

•Additionally, API integration with backup automation using Veeam and documentation to Gitbook, architecture diagrams using Visio/LucidChart, with all tracking using Pivotal dashboards was a major part of all implementations. All hosting utilized the VMWare vSphere set of Cloud technologies with automated platform/code deployments.
