Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBarry Bragg is a Principal Software Engineer based in McLean, VA, with 8 years of experience designing distributed streaming and geotemporal architectures for PED and analytic use cases in TS/SCI environments. He leads cross-vendor teams under SAFe Agile, serving as technical lead and scrum master while coordinating integration with defense contractors like Lockheed and Raytheon. Barry specializes in near-real-time pipelines using Kafka and the ELK stack, hybrid storage patterns combining Elasticsearch and Parquet on S3, and high-volume streaming retrieval via gRPC. He has a track record porting legacy monoliths to Spring Boot microservices, automating CI/CD with Atlassian tooling and Ansible, and applying spatial indexing (H3) and GeoWave for faster forensic analysis. Equally at home in data science notebooks and production systems, he builds visual analytics with Bokeh, KeplerGl, Datashader, and prototypes dashboards in Apache Superset. His background in converting algorithmic prototypes to performant Java services and pragmatic use of DuckDB/Spark for batch processing reflects a blend of deep systems engineering and hands-on data tooling.
