Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Ferguson is a Senior Data Engineer based in Paris with 11 years of experience building high-performance streaming systems using Kafka and Elasticsearch. At REA Group he focuses on scalable data pipelines and recently developed a novel tool that leverages distributed traces to capture thousands of per-subset Elasticsearch metrics and synthesize them into query-time graphs for dataset health analysis. He combines hands-on engineering with a curiosity for experimental approaches to large-data problems, moving beyond conventional monitoring to fine-grained, trace-driven observability. His background spans full-stack roles and research-oriented tutoring, reflecting both production delivery and a knack for explaining complex concepts. James holds a Bachelor of Computer Science from Swinburne University with a strong academic record.
