Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Scutaru is a Data Architect and MLOps engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Snowflake and cloud-native ML pipelines. A former Snowflake SME and five-exam SnowPro SME, he has led Snowflake adoption, built complex ETL/ELT architectures across AWS/Azure/GCP, and saved customers substantial recurring costs by eliminating data silos and adopting open-source tooling. He designs end-to-end ML systems—feature stores, CI/CD for models, TF Serving, Kubernetes, and serverless batch inference—plus custom data-drift monitors and real-time Redis-backed inference layers. Cristian pairs deep hands-on engineering (from Terraform and IaC to SQL for semi-structured JSON) with consulting and pre-sales influence, mentoring teams and shaping product offers. He is an active open-source author of Snowflake productivity tools and publishes technical guides and courses, demonstrating a commitment to practical, reusable solutions. Based in Greater Vancouver, he blends enterprise-grade architecture experience (including Microsoft, Boeing, and LoyaltyOne) with a knack for turning PoCs into cost-saving production systems.
