Illia T is a DataOps engineer with ~11 years in software and about 4 focused on data, currently building data infrastructure at FreshBooks and experienced across AWS, Snowflake/Databricks, Airflow and dbt. He progressed from Deep Learning and ML roles into data engineering and platform work, implementing Amundsen data cataloging and contributing stability fixes to its AWS integrations. Certified in multiple AWS tracks and Airflow fundamentals, he combines hands-on pipeline development (Spark/Scala, Python) with CI/CD, monitoring and cost-optimization improvements that he led at previous employers. Comfortable communicating with customers in English, he also speaks publicly, writes technical blogs, and actively contributes to open source—his GitHub motto is bluntly pragmatic: "Get Shit Done." Fast-learning and self-educated, he brings a results-oriented mindset and a track record of turning fragile deployments into reliable, monitored data platforms.
Amundsen is a metadata driven application for improving the productivity of data analysts, data scientists and engineers when interacting with data.
