Summary
Dustin Smith is a data engineering and SRE leader with 11 years of experience building production-grade data and ML platforms across finance, telecom, e-commerce, and cloud vendors. Currently Director of Data Engineering at Techcombank, he previously scaled MLOps and observability functions at Delivery Hero, True Digital Group, and Databricks, combining hands-on architecture with people leadership and OKR-driven roadmaps. He has a track record of migrating and optimizing large on-prem to cloud workloads (notably Spark and Databricks/Vertex AI proofs), delivering multi-PB storage reductions and sizable cost savings through data optimizations. Comfortable bridging data science, SRE, and platform engineering, Dustin is equally at home designing distributed Spark pipelines, tuning ML infrastructure, or mentoring teams to productionize models. Based in Hanoi, he brings an uncommon mix of mechanical-engineering rigor and finance/mathematics background to complex systems and cost-conscious platform decisions.
