Director, Data Curation

An intensive 7-week post-doctoral training fellowship bridging the gap between academia & data science. Join top companies working on data science.

I am a passionate learner of anything and everything! As a data engineer, I love to learn new technologies and tools for taming large data sets, enabling me to build products and platforms with the ever-increasing wealth of available information. As a physicist, I pushed myself to understand how the natural world works, using that knowledge to design fault-tolerant architectures in quantum computing. I'm currently Head of Data Engineering at Insight, where I enjoy breaking down difficult concepts and helping others learn distributed, open source technologies in a clear, concise way. I love to learn about fault tolerance and understand how distributed systems fail. I also have a great interest in working with Open Source projects, such as Apache Flink.
