I am a technical evangelist for MapR where I am focused on creating developer-friendly ways to use the MapR Converged Data Platform.
I have 15 years of professional experience as a software programmer and data scientist. I have deep knowledge on the Play framework, screen scraping, Selenium, Kafka, Spark, R, bash scripting, and Linux administration for data mining and web-based product prototyping. My specialties include but are not limited to stock market analysis, hotel/recreation bookings, A/B testing, and application performance monitoring.
