Top SchoolAidan Butler is a Technical Lead in Data Engineering with nine years of experience building scalable data platforms and leading teams to standardize data models across global health insurance operations. He combines hands-on expertise in Python, Spark and Rust with practical experience moving legacy, heterogeneous systems to high-performance, containerized infrastructure. At Allianz Digital Health he architects pipelines that clean and validate data at scale and generate automated data quality reports, drawing on a background in backend API integration and large-scale review processing.
