Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Balog is a Big Data Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building scalable Java-based microservices and data pipelines, currently focused on banking-grade big data at Banca Transilvania. She has a strong background in map-related data products and migration projects, having moved Spark workflows to modern Java (Java 19) and containerized deployments on Kubernetes. Her work spans the full lifecycle—from backend services (Java, Spring, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) to infrastructure-as-code and DevOps (Terraform, Ansible, Azure, CI/CD, Jenkins, GitLab) and observability (DataDog). Comfortable in collaborative, organized teams, she blends full-stack sensibilities with SRE-adjacent responsibilities and a practical knack for safe deployments (canary, high test coverage). Based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, she pairs a formal CS education with a consistent appetite for new technologies and a proven track record in geospatial and big data domains.
