Sam Perales is a software and data engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale data pipelines and full-stack tools that let teams focus on product innovation. Based in Austin, he has led cloud migrations and modernization efforts at Charles Schwab, converting hundreds of Talend jobs to cloud-native Informatica/BigQuery patterns and delivering petabyte-scale ingestion solutions. Sam combines back-end data engineering (Python, Kafka, BigQuery) with front-end product work—most recently shipping a full-stack Tableau lineage search and a D3 force-directed graph embedded in an enterprise dashboard. He has a proven track record of optimizing ingestion and partitioning for SLA-driven systems and delivering regulatory-grade data pipelines that produced seven-figure savings. Notably, his background spans both low-level map-reduce and modern cloud architectures, reflecting a practical bridge between legacy ETL and cloud-native analytics.
