Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Sumali is a Staff Platform Engineer with 14 years of experience building large, scalable data and web systems that enable data-driven decision making. He specializes in end-to-end systems architecture and data engineering across AWS-centric cloud platforms, Hadoop/Spark ecosystems, Kafka/Kinesis streaming, and containerized deployments with Kubernetes. His hands-on background spans infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), distributed databases and backend services in Java/Scala/Python, and operational monitoring at scale. Joshua has consistently moved between SRE, platform, and data roles at companies ranging from Kobo and Uken Games to Paytm Labs and VerticalScope, which gives him a rare fluency in both developer ergonomics and production reliability. Based in Toronto, he brings pragmatic engineering trade-offs to complex pipelines and clusters, and is comfortable owning both infrastructure and the application-level data flows that depend on it. Beyond the obvious, he combines deep legacy Hadoop operational experience with modern cloud-native patterns, making him effective at modernizing large, production data estates.
