Profile: https://flows.cv/jianinglei

Passionate about transforming data processes and engineering high-performance systems, I thrive on creating solutions that drive tangible results. As a Software Engineer II at Thrasio, I’ve led projects that reduced data ingestion processing times by 66% using Python Celery multi-threading, an approach that not only accelerated performance but also enhanced code readability, responsiveness, and error handling.

In this role, I developed and implemented API endpoints and data pipelines to streamline Amazon Marketplace reporting, simplifying workflows for seamless data access and insights. These optimizations have helped scale our systems to support Thrasio’s expanding operations while ensuring a smooth user experience for our stakeholders.

Previously, I contributed to Vectra AI’s mission in cybersecurity and automation by building an API to monitor network intrusions, backed by a MySQL database and a Django REST API for efficient querying. I also architected a CI/CD pipeline in Bitbucket, with automated code linting, testing, and formatting via Jenkins and Docker. My experience includes developing a telemetry and metrics tracking system for Vectra Protect, leveraging AWS Timestream, CloudFormation, Lambda, and Grafana to provide real-time insights and monitoring capabilities.

Additionally, I automated security data retrieval workflows using Terraform and Python with AWS integrations, reducing manual time requirements by 50% and streamlining data handling for cybersecurity operations.

I’m passionate about developing scalable, high-impact solutions that optimize workflows and elevate performance. Connect with me if you’re interested in technology-driven solutions in data engineering, software development, and cloud automation.
