Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Walz is a Staff Analytics Engineer (L6) with 13 years of experience building data products and BI platforms, currently shaping analytics for Netflix’s marketing vertical from Los Gatos, CA. He blends systems thinking with hands-on engineering—designing data models, cloud ETL pipelines, and high-performance reporting layers using Python, Spark, Hive/Pig, Redshift, and MicroStrategy. A former MicroStrategy consultant, he has a track record of diagnosing architectural bottlenecks and delivering tangible performance gains across advertising, retail, and banking clients. He pairs technical breadth (from streaming UDFs to in-memory caching and A/B testing infrastructure) with product-minded visualization work in MicroStrategy and Tableau. Stephen’s dual RPI degrees in Computer Science and Industrial & Management Engineering underpin his ability to translate complex requirements into scalable, operational analytics. Less obvious: he’s comfortable spanning legacy systems like Teradata and modern cloud stacks, often automating downstream reporting workflows end-to-end.
