Jad Darrous is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in data quality and large-scale storage systems, currently working at Komodo Health after contributing to Talend’s Data Quality team. He holds a PhD focused on data placement and retrieval in geo-distributed clouds and has a strong track record of optimizing big-data pipelines—achieving up to 70% speedups across layered services using Java/Scala, Beam, Spark, and Snowflake UDFs. A former competitive programmer and ACM-ICPC contestant/coach, he combines algorithmic rigor with practical system design to parallelize and productionize data-quality algorithms. Based in Nantes, France, Jad blends academic depth with hands-on engineering, often improving glue code, tooling, and documentation to raise team productivity and maintain high code quality. An understated strength is his experimental background in erasure-coded storage, which informs pragmatic choices for performance and resilience in distributed data platforms.
