Senior🎓
Top SchoolSmit Shah is a Staff Software Engineer with 9 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native data platforms that process terabytes of data for retail analytics and ML. He has a strong track record building cost-efficient, real-time pipelines and orchestration (Kafka, Spark/Databricks, Airflow) and deploying OSS-driven architectures on Kubernetes with Terraform/Helm and CI/CD automation. At Foot Locker he delivered multi-region platforms running thousands of daily tasks, cut cloud spend by replacing vendor services and by surfacing DAG-level cost anomalies, and enabled measurable business outcomes like inventory improvements and higher PDP engagement. He blends hands-on engineering with platform thinking—authoring inner-source tooling (Jenkins, Artifactory, Terraform modules) that teams reuse—and mentors engineers on scalable, test-driven practices. Based in Tampa, he pairs advanced degrees in CS/Data Science with practical experience across AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake and Confluent ecosystems.
