Ry Whittington is a Tech Lead and Senior Data Engineer with 10+ years of experience building large-scale analytics and data engineering solutions for industrial telematics and product data. He combines a mechanical engineering background with deep Python expertise—authoring the Trouve package and optimizing Python with C—to turn high-frequency time-series data into actionable insights across petabyte-scale datasets. At Caterpillar he architected frameworks used by dozens of engineers to analyze tens of millions of machine-hours, and at Zoro he leads product data engineering standards and mentorship. Ry is fluent in visualization and scientific tooling (Altair, Bokeh, NumPy, Pandas, HDF5) and comfortable across Windows and Linux ecosystems, CI pipelines and database integrations. He’s as likely to be building an OBD2 Raspberry Pi logger in his garage as he is to be designing production data pipelines, reflecting a hands-on, systems-first approach to solving hard telemetry problems.
