Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Conkling is an engineering leader with 13 years of experience building high-performance, production-grade platforms that combine knowledge graphs, graph databases, and scalable cloud infrastructure to expose illicit networks, money laundering, and resource governance issues. As SVP of Product Engineering at Sayari Analytics he leads teams developing TypeScript and Go services on Kubernetes backed by Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Memgraph, while earlier roles blended semantic web, reactive front ends, and Java microservices. His background in cartography and human-rights research—work for organizations like Amnesty, the World Bank, and Moabi—gives him uncommon domain expertise in mapping, policy, and data provenance that informs product design and investigative analytics. Equally comfortable sketching a map or modeling a distributed graph, he brings a rare mix of spatial thinking and systems engineering to tackle complex, mission-driven problems.
