Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Nazario is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale, production-grade infrastructure and data platforms, currently driving engineering at Coast in the New York City area. He spent nearly a decade at Palantir where he led multiple technical initiatives—from founding the Python ecosystem and PySpark/Jupyter integrations to architecting deployment, logging, and cyber hygiene products used by commercial and government customers. Michael has a strong track record in distributed systems, continuous deployment, and developer tooling, including being an original engineer on Palantir Apollo and building centralized logging and automated upgrade pipelines. He combines deep hands-on engineering with mentorship experience, having onboarded and coached new engineers, and brings a practical academic background from Cornell in computer science. Less obvious: he has repeatedly translated research-style tooling (notebooks, PySpark) into production workflows that accelerate iterative data science across organizations.
