Lead a small team of engineers to develop a fault tolerant and scalable ingest topology over the Storm framework. Personally handle myriad aspects of the development process to include:
- managing team members and tasking
- communicating architecture design decisions to teammates and customers
- presenting notable achievements and deliverables to key executive leadership
- writing specialized Storm mechanisms such as filesystem cache libraries useful specifically for execution within a distributed environment
- building out the ingest cluster to include Storm, Zookeeper, Hadoop, and Accumulo
The system is built to support multiple different data types and formats (some proprietary) with the goal of data fusion and analytic discovery.

Siren
G2 Incorporated
Developed a library of capabilities to ease the architecting of higher level systems leveraging the Storm stream processing framework. Library functions include code for:
- ingestion into multiple distributed databases (Accumulo, HBase)
- normalization of data given a map of transformations
- source capabilities to easily project data into the Storm stream
- data tagging to aid in optimized queries
The library was further tested against multiple data sets (xml, csv, json, etc.) ingesting 1M+ records a minute on a modest five node cluster.
