Senior🎓
Top SchoolLestat Kim is a Chief Data Officer with nearly a decade in data, currently leading a 100-person team building a country-scale Lakehouse platform at Wildberries that handles tens of petabytes across three data centers. He combines deep technical mastery of Iceberg, Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes and Avro-based Data Contracts with company-level strategy—migrating fragmented legacy warehouses into a unified internal cloud service used by multiple acquired businesses. Lestat treats data governance as an enabler of trust, having implemented mandatory data contracts, federated metadata/catalog systems, and automated DLQ-driven quality feedback loops. He has a hands-on systems background from SQL Server and PostgreSQL tuning to custom C extensions and Kafka bare-metal deployments, which informs pragmatic architecture and incident resilience. Outside work he’s a metalist and longboarder—an indication of a disciplined but creative mindset that surfaces in both engineering and leadership.
