Data Architect at Cledar specializing in building modern data platforms that integrate real-time processing with artificial intelligence. I'm an active contributor to open-source projects including Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, and Apache Flink. As a returning speaker at Flink Forward (2020 and 2024), I've shared practical insights on implementing scalable streaming solutions. My current focus is on developing agentic AI systems that can autonomously interact with streaming data platforms. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between real-time data processing and intelligent systems, and enjoy teaching complex data concepts to help others leverage these powerful technologies.
