Summary
Nick Reich is a Principal Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon, with nine years of professional software experience and deep expertise in polyglot persistence, streaming, ETL, caching, and both OLTP and OLAP systems. He has led architecture and engineering efforts to redesign ETL pipelines, migrate large-scale NoSQL datastores (including Cassandra to DynamoDB), and build pre-caching strategies that materially improved throughput and cost.
