Senior🎓
Top SchoolNigel Maynard is a Principal Data Engineer with 11 years of experience blending software engineering and cloud-native data solutions, currently leading data efforts at iManage from Toronto. He has a track record of designing resilient, user-facing data platforms—such as an ElasticSearch-backed solution and Lambda-driven ETL for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative—that improved load times and enabled algorithmic pathogen detection. Nigel moves between hands-on engineering and architecture, having led cloud migrations, medallion data practices, and zero-downtime schema transitions using Spark and Glue. As an educator and consultant he’s skilled at translating across diverse technical backgrounds to build effective teams and practical tooling. He pairs a psychology undergraduate background with deep technical chops, often prototyping side projects like quiri.io and fixing things around the house in his spare time. This mix of user-focused problem solving and infrastructure craftsmanship makes him a pragmatic leader for data-intensive applications.
