Summary
Jake Peterson is a pragmatic data engineering professional with 12 years of experience building cloud-native ETL platforms, backend services, and full-stack systems for logistics, vehicle telematics, and social media analytics. Currently a SDE III at GoDaddy, he scaled AWS-native PySpark/Glue pipelines that process millions of records daily while cutting pipeline costs 15–25% and enabling millisecond API responses for year-long aggregates. He pairs deep hands-on skills in Python, Java, AWS serverless, and Airflow with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices, and has shepherded company-wide schema standards and zero-downtime Hadoop→S3 migrations. As a co-founder of a web/mobile shop and long-term owner of critical production apps, he brings product-minded engineering and operational ownership to every project. Jake also experiments with AI coding agents to automate code generation, testing, and PR review, embedding reproducible developer context across repositories.
