Summary
Kevin Montana is a Sr Big Data Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating large-scale data platforms across AWS and Azure. He has built and optimized ETL and streaming pipelines using Spark, Kafka, Hive, HBase, Airflow, and cloud-native services such as EMR, Redshift, Databricks, and Azure Data Factory. At Allstate, Salesforce, and Alteryx he translated complex business requirements into scalable data models and automated workflows, including real-time processing and event-driven architectures with Lambda and Kinesis. Comfortable across both Hadoop-era and modern cloud data stacks, he has deep operational experience—cluster tuning, security, networking and production support—that keeps pipelines resilient at scale. Based in Pennsylvania, he prefers contracting (C2C) and brings a pragmatic blend of architecture, implementation and hands-on troubleshooting. An often overlooked strength is his track record of delivering POCs that bridge legacy Hadoop tooling to cloud-native targets like Snowflake and Delta Lake.
