  • Led a team of data engineers, overseeing architecture design and technical execution.
  • Proposed and implemented a serverless Elasticsearch deployment with auto-scaling to replace the static instance setup, optimizing performance for over 700 GB of data. The previous setup experienced CPU spikes due to I/O-bound operations like disk reads and query-time document scoring. The new architecture auto-scales resources to handle heavy search loads without performance degradation.
  • Evaluated alternatives like Manticore Search for cost and performance trade-offs; integrated into select features where suitable.
  • Drove solution-oriented decision-making across the data infrastructure stack.
