"bio": "I'm a Fellow at Walmart Global Tech, where I work on all things data — designing and building large-scale distributed systems and machine learning platforms that power Walmart's global data ecosystem.\n\nBefore joining Walmart, I served as the Chief Architect and Head of Engineering at Datazoom, where we built high-fidelity, low-latency streaming data systems to capture and process video telemetry in real time. Prior to that, I was PayPal's Chief Data Engineer, helping build systems, platforms, teams, and processes that enabled access to the hundreds of petabytes of data under PayPal's management.\n\nEarlier in my career, I held senior technical roles at Netflix, LinkedIn, eBay, and Etsy, among others. I earned my BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from Cornell University, where I focused on distributed systems.\n\nOutside of work, I advise early-stage companies and several technology conferences. Once an active committer on Apache Airflow, I'm now mostly a fan and supporter of the open-source community.",
