Summary
Sam Choukri is a Senior Data Architect with nine years of focused experience designing and deploying scalable, testable data platforms and services across cloud and on-prem environments. Based in San Diego, he has built end-to-end analytics pipelines and data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, Spark, Airflow, dbt) and led engineering teams responsible for high-throughput systems like an internal ESP that sent 100M+ emails per month. Sam combines deep backend and data modeling expertise (Postgres, MySQL, Cassandra) with modern cloud-native practices (Docker, Kubernetes, GCP, AWS), and has repeatedly turned complex product needs into operational, measurable pipelines and APIs. He’s comfortable both as an individual contributor building core services and as a technical lead driving migrations and performance improvements that materially cut costs and increased engagement. A PhD-trained scientist by background, he brings an analytical rigor and curiosity to engineering problems that often uncovers subtle data and reliability issues before they become visible to users.
