Summary
Manikanta Maddula is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable data platforms and pipelines across enterprise and healthcare domains. He combines deep hands‑on expertise in distributed systems (Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Heron/Storm) with practical cloud-native implementation on AWS and Databricks to enable data-as-a-service and monitoring solutions. At State Farm he’s driving a Data Innovation Lab and automated monitoring for Redshift/AWS usage, while prior roles at Cerner focused on performance-tuned revenue cycle analytics and MapReduce automation that reduced deployment times from weeks to minutes. He pairs strong software engineering (Java, Python, Scala) and data science foundations (TensorFlow, R, deep learning) with production-grade DevOps practices like CI/CD and multi-cloud deployments. A former graduate teaching assistant in machine learning, he brings both research-informed approaches and BI experience from IBM, making him equally comfortable prototyping ML models and shipping robust data products. Beyond technical chops, his background in executive IT management (EMBA) signals an ability to align data engineering work with broader business strategy.
