🚀 Spark on Kubernetes | Distributed Systems | Big Data Platform Security | ML Platforms 🚀

Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I'm Claudia, a Data Infrastructure Engineer with a focus on driving efficiency and security in data and machine learning platforms. With expertise in Spark on Kubernetes, I optimize data processing while ensuring scalability and reliability in distributed systems environments. I'm passionate about fortifying big data platforms with security measures such as Apache Ranger, safeguarding data integrity and compliance. Additionally, I contribute to advancing machine learning platforms by integrating Spark and Kubernetes, streamlining workflows for model development and deployment. With 6 years of experience, I'm dedicated to delivering practical solutions that meet the evolving needs of technology ecosystems.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Soraban
Jan 2025 – Present | United States
At Soraban I built a production AI agent for accounting firms from 0→1 — multi-agent systems, schema-aware RAG, Text-to-GraphQL, full observability stack, Cloud Run deployment, model routing, and product UX design.
Early-stage startup lesson: there's no 'that's not my scope.' You architect the system, ship it, sit with users, watch it break, fix it, and iterate. Refine Search, source links, error recovery. None of that came from a roadmap. It came from listening and quick iterations.
