Summary
Cannon Lewis is an Engineering Manager and data engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed data systems from research prototypes to production at Two Sigma. With a PhD background in computer science from Rice University and early research in reinforcement learning and robotic motion planning, he blends rigorous academic methods with pragmatic engineering to optimize pipelines and distributed compute. At Two Sigma he led support for 25 engineers, cut p99 incident resolution times by 90%, and helped onboard petabytes of nontraditional data while cataloging over 5,000 pipelines to improve operational clarity. He is equally comfortable mentoring teams as he is diving into ETL, performance tuning, and tooling for scalable data operations. Based in Houston, he brings a rare mix of deep algorithmic thinking and hands-on systems delivery that accelerates both reliability and data-driven insight.
