Summary
Charles Brophy is a back-end and microservices-focused Java engineer and entrepreneur with 11+ years building high-throughput, real-time data platforms for retail and analytics. As Co-Founder of Stakana Analytics and former lead of product relevance and data science teams, he blends hands-on engineering in Spark/Hadoop ecosystems with leadership, mentoring, and product-driven ML deployment. He specializes in designing statistical and machine-learning pipelines that operate 24x7 on massive datasets, turning messy inputs into reliable signals for business decisions. Comfortable owning system architecture through production, he prefers smaller organizations where he can shape vision and ship quickly. Though not a front-end specialist, his strength lies in pragmatic, scalable back-end design and parallel computation. Based in Seattle, he’s an active open-source practitioner—see his GitHub for examples of his code and implementations.
