Architect, Core Infrastructure Data Science
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Becker is an infrastructure-focused data science architect with 14 years of experience designing and hyperscaling cloud compute for hyper-growth environments. He built probabilistic demand forecasting and end-to-end capacity optimization systems at AWS that enabled >13x revenue growth and later automated capacity management for Bedrock. Now at Oracle he leads cross-organizational capacity planning, forecasting, and operational optimization for core infrastructure, blending research-grade modeling with production systems engineering. His background spans astrophysics to cloud — from processing petabyte-scale time-domain telescopes to driving hardware lifecycle decisions — giving him deep expertise in large-scale data pipelines, statistical modeling, and systems tradeoffs. Colleagues rely on him to translate long-range capacity strategy into controllable levers in real systems, and he’s comfortable owning problems from kernel and database performance to ML-driven forecasting. Based in Seattle, he combines academic rigor with hands-on build-and-operate experience that’s rare among infrastructure leaders.
