 ### Big Data Engineer at [Hive](https://www.hivehome.com/) _(November 2014—July 2019)_
 
-Designed and developed pipelines with Kafka, Kakfa Streams, and Apache Spark, to implement data science algorithms to deliver customer-facing products derived from Hive thermostat data. Algorithms were packaged as Docker images and deployed with Helm charts to a Kubernetes cluster running in AWS. Processes at a rate of __100,000+__ messages per second.

 Worked with data scientists to deliver a Kafka Streams application to analyse thermostat state, detect when a customer's heating fails, and notify the customer of that failure. A batch-based Python prototype algorithm was delivered by data scientists, but was unsuitable for real-time failure detection, so I redesigned the algorithm to work as a __real-time Kafka Streams__ application.
