Mason Costa is a seasoned data engineer and functional programming enthusiast with 12+ years progressing from intern roles to staff engineering and management across enterprise and startup environments. He uses Clojure professionally, has led small teams building composable cloud platform components, and now focuses on data engineering at Stylitics while completing a MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. Mason’s background spans companies including IBM, Cisco, Splash Financial and Izenda, blending architecture, devops, and hands-on implementation. He is comfortable designing systems end-to-end— from ERPs and AS/400 integrations to cloud-native services—and frequently steps into project management and people-lead roles. Based in Dallas, Georgia, he pairs pragmatic engineering with an academic focus on computing systems, bringing both craftsmanship and systems-level thinking to data problems. An uncommon detail: despite enterprise roles, he still prefers functional paradigms and Clojure for production work, influencing how his teams compose reliable, testable systems.
