Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Chmura is a hands-on engineering leader with over 17 years building distributed data systems, APIs, and high-throughput analytics in fast-moving startups and finance. Currently Principal Engineer and Head of Data Products in New York, he has repeatedly scaled data teams and platforms under tight customer SLAs, from terabyte-scale Spark and Kafka pipelines to BigQuery migrations. His background spans fintech and security—helping trading desks at Two Sigma and architecting threat-intelligence analytics at BlueVoyant—so he blends quantitative rigor with product-facing delivery. Known for digging into technical debt, performance tuning, and partner-facing integrations, he pairs deep implementation expertise with a knack for translating business needs into reliable data products. Unusually for a senior manager, he still contributes code and operational fixes, keeping a direct line to the systems his teams run.
