Hello, My Name is Owen.
I design and build great software and systems, and help drive forward the processes, practices and teams that are used in their creation. I'm currently based in Bristol, UK.
I'm an extremely versatile software/data engineer with broad experience from building small greenfield projects right through to defining Enterprise Architecture. I have a proven track record of timely technology adoption and am an outstanding analytical thinker and decision maker.
Just a flavour of my experience: Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Kafka, Heavy.ai (formerly MapD), billion-scale similarity search over dense vectors and data engineering on AWS and Google Cloud.
I like to read and stay up-to-date on the technology landscape and developing trends.
Sometimes I like to experiment with startups, side-projects and the occasional career change.
Oh, and I created spark-fires to help educate developers about Spark performance troubleshooting.
