Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Perez is a pragmatic software engineer with 12 years of experience building data infrastructure, ETL pipelines, and web applications across robotics, engineering software, and research environments. Currently at Torc Robotics he architects AWS data pipelines that process hundreds of terabytes weekly, uses Terraform for reproducible infrastructure, and ships self-service Vue.js apps to surface data collection status. He co-founded Engine ML and is an active open-source contributor to the influential Ramda.js functional programming library, having added core utilities and tests that improved its functional ergonomics. Ben blends hands-on systems work (PowerShell, .NET, Python) with strong data engineering instincts—he’s automated heavy computations to cut client processing time by two-thirds and scaled SQL pipelines to handle millions of points. Comfortable translating domain expertise from chemical and engine analysis into production code, he thrives at the intersection of engineering simulation, data reliability, and developer-facing tools. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic guidance on data lake usage and practical solutions that make large-scale data approachable.
