Bryan Schaefer

I’m a Lead Data Engineer focused on architecting and operating scalable data platforms for analytics, reporting, and machine learning workloads. I design and implement batch and streaming pipelines, cloud-native data architectures, and distributed processing frameworks, delivering production-grade infrastructure with strong data modeling, orchestration, observability, and automated data quality controls.

In recent roles, I directed development of 30 batch and streaming pipelines processing 5TB daily datasets and integrated 12 data sources to deliver curated analytics datasets used by BI and data science teams. I established reliability and observability across 50 production pipelines, reducing failure rates by 35%, and mentored 6 engineers while improving deployment efficiency by 40% through CI/CD and modular pipeline standards.
