As a seasoned Hadoop Solution Designer and Consultant with over 9 years of experience, I specialize in Hadoop Architecture, Solution Design, and Big Data Analytics using DevOps and Agile methodologies. My expertise encompasses managing extensive Hadoop Clusters with over 2500 nodes, implementing end-to-end Hadoop security frameworks, and optimizing cluster performance through advanced monitoring and tuning techniques. I am proficient in a broad array of Hadoop Ecosystem tools including HDFS, YARN, MR2, Sqoop, Tez, Hive, Ranger, Spark, Trino, Ambari, Oozie, Kafka, HBase, Atlas, Hue, and Presto. My extensive hands-on experience includes setting up Big Data clusters on AWS and GCP, and I have led full life cycle implementations covering Data Ingestion, Data Governance, Data Quality, Metadata Management, and Data Lineage using HDP suite and Apache Atlas. A significant part of my career has been dedicated to leading open-source migration projects such as Hortonworks to OpenSource Hadoop and Cloudera to Hortonworks. These projects have not only reduced operational costs but also enhanced system performance and reliability. Additionally, I have successfully managed cluster capacity planning, hardware planning, and disaster recovery planning, ensuring high availability and resilience of Big Data environments. Currently, I am working on POCs for Alluxio and VAST Data to explore alternative storage and storage virtualization solutions. These initiatives aim to enhance storage efficiency, data protection, and overall system performance. I have a strong background in ITIL processes, including Change Management, Incident Management, and Production Support. My roles have also involved automating manual tasks using Python, integrating Hadoop security tools with Kerberos (LDAP/AD/MIT), Ranger, and SSL/TLS, and supporting Unix, Network, and Security teams during maintenance activities. I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to solve complex data challenges and drive innovation in Big Data technologies.
