Benjamin Swerdlow is a Senior Data Engineer with six years of experience building production-grade data platforms and full-stack applications, currently driving AI-accelerated decisioning and SOX-compliant pipelines at Live Oak Bank. He blends a materials-science research background—publishing on photovoltaics and nanoscale self-assembly—with hands-on software work, from Spring Boot and Angular services to Databricks medallion architectures and Airflow monitoring. At Ford he modernized cloud-native test-data systems and led end-to-end test automation, and on open-source he contributed Flutter UI improvements to the WHO COVID-19 app. Known for turning noisy scientific data into reliable business signals, he pairs rigorous validation and governance with pragmatic delivery that has materially moved the needle on deposits and reliability.
