Professional Experience
Sr. Big Data/Cloud Architect
Concept Software & Services Inc.
Client: Hilton Hotels
Oct 2017 – Present (2-year 5 months) | Mclean VA, US

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is an initiative to gather all planet wide Hilton data into one single
application. EIM acts a central application to derive business intelligence which will enable Hilton to run campaigns,
derive pace and position of revenue, etc. Various data-science principles are applied on the EIM data to get insights.
EIM is a complex application which stores Peta Bytes of Data which includes wide-variety of data formats (csv,
JSON, xml, streaming data, etc.)

Responsibilities:
→ Designing and implement Big data Cloud environment using AWS to handle Peta Bytes of data.
→ Implement and govern code standards and best practices
→ Architect and develop applications with Hadoop Infrastructure like SPARK, SPARK-streaming, MapReduce,
HIVE, SQOOP, OOZIE, Kafka, SOLR, HBASE, MYSQL, Red Shift, NIFI, GIT and Maven tools
→ Built Data-Science Propensity and revenue forecast models and deployed on Big data Cloud
→ Performance tuning of SPARK applications jobs
→ Lead the team towards achieving the project goals
→ Implement solutions to support data retention policies
→ Implement solutions to save cost by data segregation (hot/cold data)
→ Mentor the team members in achieving knowledge on Big Data technologies
→ Support AWS QuickSight dashboards and reporting solutions over S3, Presto, Redshift.

Achievements:
→ Small File Problem: Spark applications are creating too many small problems with skewed data and
repartitioning. Implemented a solution which accepts the number of output files as parameter and normalizes the
output files size with optimal performance.
→ Unzip Large Files: Hilton receives huge volume of data in zip files (5 GB) from 5400 properties. Unzipping and
processing the files became a problem as unzipping has to be done on a local file system and consuming too
much time. Designed and Implemented a solution to separate unzipping and processing of files. Handled
unzipping using map-reduce application and processing with SPARK. This design increased the performance by
300%.
→ Unit Testing Framework: Implemented testing framework into code base so that testing of Big Data applications
can be done on local machine without the need of cluster. This is achieved by creating SPARK, HIVE,
ZOOKEEPER, S3 servers in local.
→ Logging Framework: Reading logs in Hadoop application is tedious and time-consuming task. Implemented
SOLR-logging for all big-data applications and created Dashboards on Banana to retrieve information seamlessly
→ NIFI Large File transformations: Faced memory issues while transforming large files to JSON using NIFI
processors which reads full file in memory. Implemented NIFI custom processors for transformations using output
streams and efficient row-wise operations.
→ With increase in volume of the data, NIFI was quickly becoming the bottleneck. Designed and implemented the
ingestion solution using Spark. As solution NIFI cluster is a costly affair comparatively.

Environment: Amazon web services, NIFI, Hive, SQOOP, FLUME, AWS Redshift, AWS S3, Apache SPARK, Scala,
JAVA, HBASE, JDK 1.8, SOLR, Red hat Linux, Python, Shell scripting, Oracle, Hortonworks distribution
