You found my hideaway!
I currently work as a data engineer at Cerner healthcare. I work on really interesting things in healthcare. I'm part of the data platform engineering team. It's usually extremely time consuming which explains my spotty activity on here. But don't fear! because I always come back here.
When I'm not burnt out, I'm reading about data engineering, backend engineering and platform engineering. Absolutely love solving problems.
I'm currently working on the The-Explorer This one is my brainchild. I always wanted to build a visual knowledge repository similar to google maps, but with historical data from wikipedia.
I'm also going through the MIT distributed systems lectures. And doing the lab! This typically involves writing working code based on the MapReduce whitepaper. Sure it's not upto spec, but it's a good exercise to really get your hands dirty. To mix things up, I'm doing it in python. The original boilerplate was written in Go, but I'll work in python.
One of these day's I'm going to get around to doing two things,
- Publish my blog, because I love writing and why not?
- Setup a repository filled with articles, blogs, youtube videos that I used to get from where I was ( A college grad ) to fwherever I am now, so that other people can benefit from it. Sort of like a roadmap if you will.
Reach out to me for anything computer-science relayted! I'm always up for a good discussion. If you think I'd do some good contribution to your project, let me know! If you're a recruiter, I'm definitely a good catch. No seriously. :P
