Summary
Baris Ergun is a Resident Solution Architect and seasoned software consultant with over two decades of engineering experience and a focused eight-year track record in Big Data, particularly Scala and Apache Spark. He blends deep systems programming (C++, Java) with modern data engineering and cloud practices (AWS EMR, Databricks), having delivered mission-critical pipelines for government, finance, healthcare, and publishing clients. As a director at PairWise Software and through long-term consultancy stints at HMRC, Deutsche Bank and others, he pairs hands-on delivery with architecture and mentoring across large, secure estates. Recently he has been integrating Generative AI and LLMs into production systems, bringing practical deployment experience rather than experimental prototypes. His background founding an early video-surveillance startup and work across storage and reactive streaming give him a pragmatic, end-to-end view of performance and reliability. Based in the UK, he offers a rare combination of deep technical craft, delivery pedigree, and client-facing consultancy skills for organisations scaling data and AI initiatives.
