Bonnie Chin
@bonniechin
Data engineer passionate about optimizing data pipelines and performance.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Data Engineer with a strong background in optimizing data pipelines and enhancing performance. Currently, I work at State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance Co., where I improved daily data job performance by 55% by transitioning data reads from S3 to AWS Glue, significantly reducing runtime. My expertise in Python and generative AI has enabled me to build and automate schema update tooling, which has streamlined our processes and reduced manual overhead.
Previously, I contributed to Zoom Video Communications as a Software Development Engineer, where I played a key role in designing and implementing data pipelines using Scala and Spark. My efforts in migrating on-premise ETL jobs to Amazon MWAA were instrumental in our team's migration strategy. I also gained valuable experience as a Data Lake Engineering Summer Analyst at Goldman Sachs, where I improved the implementation of the ElasticSearch reindex API and increased indexing efficiency.
