SUMMARY

Systems engineer turned software engineer and linux hacker. My focus
right now is on big data streams -- especially web and social networks.

EXPERIENCE - I have a M.S. in electrical engineering and 8 years
experience as an engineer. I'm good at working independently, getting
things done, and leading other engineers.

TECHNICAL SKILLS -- I'm a Python developer but also do DevOps work and
some project management. I'm especially good at using Python and Linux
to get things done quickly. I don't prescribe to one doctrine or
technology but believe in using the right tool for the job.

TECHNOLOGY STACK - Python, bash, linux, git, ELK (elasticsearch,
logstash, kibana), ansible, kafka, scrapy, vagrant, docker, storm,
spark, hbase.


EDUCATION

Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA

M.S. & B.S. Electrical Engineering, September 2006
Honors: Presidential Scholarship, Phi Eta Sigma
