Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Hassanabad is a Principal Software Engineer with 13+ years building large-scale, security-focused data platforms and full-stack products from prototype to production. He combines deep expertise in event-driven architectures (Kafka, Apache Flink, event sourcing), cloud-native systems (AWS, GCP), and modern web stacks (TypeScript, NodeJS, React) to deliver robust detections engines, search subsystems, and data pipeline tooling. At Elastic and RADICL Defense he led development of detection and AI/ML features, created a domain-specific query language (RQL) integrated with a CEP on Flink, and reduced test flakiness in high-profile open source code such as Kibana. Equally comfortable in backend integration, frontend UX, and test automation, he emphasizes maintainable, test-driven teams and ontological schema design for smoother data mapping. Based in Longmont, CO, he brings a pragmatic product focus and a knack for translating complex security requirements into elegant, production-ready systems.
