Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Kohl is a Principal Data Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building data platforms, APIs, and knowledge-graph driven systems using Scala and Python. He has led teams and architected large-scale pipelines across companies like Indeed, GeoPhy, Thomson Reuters, and Oxford University Press, working with technologies such as Snowflake, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Spark, and graph databases. His domain strength lies in semantic and graph data—designing ontologies, knowledge graphs, and integration pipelines that turn messy lexical and enterprise data into queryable platforms. Comfortable in both hands-on development and technical leadership, he has repeatedly moved projects from research or legacy stacks into production-grade cloud architectures. An English literature and classics background gives him an uncommon blend of linguistic insight and engineering rigor that informs his approach to data modelling and semantics.
