Summary
Ben Griffith is a Lead Data Engineer with 12 years of experience designing and operating ETL pipelines, cloud data platforms, and analytics solutions across finance, federal, and SaaS product environments. He combines strong SQL and Python chops with hands-on experience in BigQuery, Snowflake, Airflow, Kafka, and Spark Streaming to move hundreds of millions to billions of rows reliably and speed up analytics by tuning schemas and query plans. His background in finance and investment management informs a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to data modeling and product reporting, while past roles show he can modernize legacy systems and mentor teams. At Freshworks he streamlined pipeline onboarding with tools that auto-generate schema and business-rule JSON, and at Publicis Sapient he led large-scale cloud migrations and partitioning strategies that materially improved performance. Outside work he’s the kind of engineer who debugs both data flows and his car, reflecting a hands-on curiosity that fuels practical solutions.
