Evan Wright is a Data Integration Engineer based in Charlotte with 14 years of experience building real-time, event-driven data pipelines and integrations. He specializes in Apache Kafka and Confluent Kafka—managing clusters, CDC workflows, and stream processing with kSQL and Flink—to turn messy operational events into business-ready data. Equally comfortable on the integration layer, he uses MuleSoft to connect internal systems and third-party services, improving accessibility and operational efficiency. His career path from data analyst and systems support to business systems analyst and now integration engineer gives him a pragmatic, end-to-end perspective on data quality, user needs, and deployment challenges. Evan has contributed bug fixes and enhancements to the widely used pandas project, demonstrating hands-on data-manipulation expertise beyond his day job. He combines a business-adjacent Computer Information Systems degree with practical coding and SQL chops to bridge technical and organizational priorities.
