> Big data engineer

Location: Berkeley, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/abekanofsky

Experienced big data and full stack engineer with a demonstrated history working in the financial and higher education industries. I'm particularly interested in distributed data processing, cloud architecture, and serverless application design, but I'm also experienced with traditional server-based application development.
Apart from computer science, I'm also interested in philosophy (particularly logic and metaphysics) and mathematics (particularly mathematical logic and category theory, which itself has applications in both philosophy and computer science).
