Summary
Robert Boscacci is a Senior Data Engineer with 11 years of experience who blends production-grade data engineering with a deep background in cinema post-production and computer vision. He has built cloud-native ingestion and geospatial pipelines on Azure and AWS, automated infrastructure with Terraform, and created labeled image datasets to fine-tune vision models—skills reinforced by an AWS Data Engineer certification and a data science education from Flatiron. Robert authored a widely noticed book on computer vision and society, interviewing experts from MIT to Adobe, and has translated research-grade techniques into production insights for clients like Disney+, Netflix, and ViacomCBS. His career path from multi-GPU color grading workstations to architecting event-driven scraping and OCR systems gives him uncommon fluency across video, vision, and data infrastructure. Based in Seattle after a decade in NYC, he mentors teams, teaches through writing and talks, and brings a pragmatic, creative approach honed by filmmaking and fieldwork. Outside of engineering he pursues road cycling, wilderness backpacking, and local chess meetups—interests that mirror his blend of endurance, curiosity, and strategic thinking.
