Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBogdan Kyryliuk is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in large-scale data platforms with 10+ years building reliable, cost-efficient analytics infrastructure across companies like Databricks, Dropbox, Airbnb, and Google. He led Dropbox’s petabyte-scale Hive-to-Databricks migration and Delta adoption, delivering 2–3x efficiency gains and substantial compute cost reductions while unifying thousands of pipelines. As an Apache Superset PMC member and contributor to projects like PyHive, he improves data tooling and SQL security, including per-database permissions and performance optimizations for SQL Lab. He combines deep backend engineering (big data, orchestration, metastore migrations) with platform leadership—founding cross-functional teams, authoring platform strategy, and embedding engineering practices that scale globally. Based in San Francisco, he blends hands-on coding and open-source stewardship with proven experience aligning multiple teams to execute complex migrations and retire legacy systems. A less obvious strength: he repeatedly turns operational priorities into durable platform products (e.g., event logging enrichment that became a dedicated team), showing a knack for productizing infrastructure work.
