Lead Software Engineer building AWS-scale event-driven geospatial data pipelines for mobility insights.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience at HERE Technologies, where I focus on designing and delivering compute-intensive, distributed systems for mobility data. I enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable architectures that teams can standardize and scale.
I led the design of an AWS EMR processing architecture using Apache Spark and Apache Sedona, scaling to process ~23M vehicle drive records (~400GB). I also directed event-driven downstream pipelines with AWS EventBridge and Step Functions, improving orchestration throughput by 30%.
On the product side, I’m a key contributor to processing modules that derive drive-path attributes, with core logic currently under patent review. I also designed geospatial deviation detection models, improving internal map correction accuracy by 50%, with related work under ongoing patent review.
Operational excellence matters to me: I helped standardize AWS EMR Spark and Apache Flink pipelines adopted by 10+ services, reducing delivery cadence from monthly to weekly. I build for maintainability too—led monitoring dashboards in Splunk and Grafana with automated alerting, served as an SME for Kubernetes and GitLab CI/CD best practices, and mentored 6+ teams to accelerate deployments by 25%.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Designed a compute-intensive processing architecture on AWS EMR using Apache Spark/Sedona, scaling to process ~23M vehicle drive records and improving throughput by 30% through event-driven orchestration. Built/maintained data processing modules (including geospatial deviation detection) and led operational improvements with Splunk/Grafana monitoring and Kubernetes/GitLab CI/CD practices.
Developed new features to enhance end-user functionality and usability and led a technical refresh effort. Earned the 'INSPIRE Award' for outstanding contributions and the 'Excellent Performer' award.
Built Spring Batch and Oracle-based frameworks to ingest partner data and implemented Jenkins pipelines for automated deployments on Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Received a 'Richard E. Merwin' scholarship awarded by the IEEE Computer Society.
Developed middleware interfaces for connecting 100+ internal critical partner systems using the Spring Framework and Oracle. Led a migration from Cloud Foundry to VSI infrastructure and performed application tech refresh work that reduced costs.
