Top SchoolBlaze Burgess is a Senior Software Engineer and data engineer with a decade of experience building ETL frameworks, analytics pipelines, and web applications using Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. He has deep hands-on expertise with Django and React, analytical databases like ClickHouse, and a range of relational and NoSQL stores, having architected systems that cut processing time to a quarter of previous runtimes. At FXcompared he led end-to-end data pipeline design, automated QA and reporting for financial data, and managed transitions off third-party tooling; he now applies that product-oriented engineering to humanitarian data at Médecins Sans Frontières.
