At Tatari he led data warehouse evaluations, streaming pipeline designs, and a privacy-preserving attribution system while also hiring and mentoring engineers. He has a strong operational background in cloud-native deployments and performance optimization, including notable DevOps contributions to Yelp’s open PaaSTA project to improve status reporting efficiency. Comfortable translating ambiguous product requirements into reliable, observable systems, Henry pairs technical rigor from his UC Berkeley EECS training with a curiosity for emerging trends and cross-team problem solving.
