Summary
Judit Lantos is a Staff Data Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 11 years of experience building scalable data platforms and production pipelines for high‑traffic services. After leading data engineering education and fellowship programs in Silicon Valley, she spent multiple years architecting and operating Spark-centric pipelines and distributed systems at Split before joining Netflix, where she progressed from Senior to Staff Data Engineer. Her background in engineering physics and early work in medical imaging give her a strong foundation in numerical methods, signal processing and experimental rigor that she applies to data quality and performance tuning. A hands-on mentor and workshop instructor, she blends technical leadership with deep familiarity across the data ecosystem (Kafka, Spark, Cassandra, etc.), and has a knack for turning complex distributed problems into maintainable production systems. She’s equally likely to optimize a streaming job as she is to debug a subtle data skew—always with a curiosity for learning (and apparently some good cookies).
