I design pipelines that are observable, resilient, and boring in production.

Capabilities

CapabilityDescription
Multi-source ingestionMultiple formats normalized to a common schema with consistent metadata
Replay handlingDedicated paths for historical data that preserve original timestamps
End-to-end traceabilityTenant and data-type metadata attached at ingestion, preserved through to storage
Operational metricsPer-stage instrumentation: throughput, queue depth, processing time

Design Principles

  • Backpressure over dropping — Slowing upstream is visible; dropped data is invisible
  • Idempotency where possible — Pipeline stages safe to retry
  • Explicit routing over convention — Routing in config, not buried in code
  • Observable by default — Instrumentation is part of initial design, not a later optimization
