M Johns is a Data Architect with 14 years of experience designing and operating large-scale data platforms, currently leading data strategy at SafeLease in Austin. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Scala, Spark, SQL and streaming systems, having built ELT pipelines, real-time ingestion, and geospatial processing at companies like Mothership and Artemis Health. As an early technical hire and co-founder-level leader, he has repeatedly moved systems from Postgres and Redshift to Spark/Databricks and Snowflake to handle terabyte-scale workloads. He combines platform-building skills—Airbyte, dbt, Kafka, Kubernetes—with operational rigor, including SOC/HIPAA/HITRUST audit processes and production ML model serving. Colleagues rely on him to bootstrap teams and standardize data products that enable fast analytics and cost-tracking. He’s equally comfortable optimizing low-level database designs and shepherding data programs through growth stages, a breadth shaped by years of consulting and infrastructure roles.
