Node51 is focused on offering services, training and support around Hadoop ecosystem.
Principal Hadoop Consultant @ Hitachi Data Systems [2011 May - Present]
-
I am the lead for Analytics component for Hitachi Data platform. Successfully virtualized Hadoop (one of the first in industry). Adopted Linux KVM as the virtualization container. Optimized disk IO path and network IO path between virtual machines and hosts to provide optimal IO performance for Hadoop.
-
Developed a custom FileSystem plugin for Hadoop so it can access files on Hitachi Data Platform. This plugin allows Hadoop MapReduce programs, HBase, Pig and Hive to work unmodified and access files directly. The plugin also provided data locality for Hadoop across host nodes and virtual machines.
-
Advised file system team on optimizing IO for Hadoop / analytics work loads.
-
Setup and benchmarked Hadoop/HBase clusters for internal use
-
wrote data ingesters and map reduce programs
-
lots of scripting (python + shell) to provision and spin up virtualized hadoop clusters
-

Hadoop / Data warehouse Consultant @ Adpredictive, San Francisco (Online Advertising / Targeting) [2009 Nov - 2011 Feb]
Adpredictive is an online advertisement targeting company. I worked closely with the CTO in helping them scale to 100s millions of impressions per day.
- Hadoop data ware housing on Amazon EC2:
Adpredictive serves up 100s millions of impressions per day and collects a lot of data.
I have architected and developed a scalable, cost
effective, and fault tolerant data ware house system on
Amazon EC2 Cloud. Developed MapReduce/EMR
jobs to analyze the data and provide heuristics and reports. The heuristics were used for improving campaign targeting and efficiency.
Technologies used : Hadoop, Hbase, Sqoop, Scribe, Java, Map Reduce , Amazon EC2 infrastructure, Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), MySQL, shell scripts
more || my talk on EMR experience
- high performant web service infrastructure
We needed a solution to bid in real time on advertising
exchanges. Response time for web services built on typical LAMP
(php) stack was too slow for our needs. So I engineered a high
performant / high volume / highly scalable platform for bidding
in real-time (More
details). Our bidding platform response time improved
from 300ms to 50 ms
Technologies used : Python, Tornado Web Server, MySQL, ProtoBuf
