Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Ruppert is a former Google software engineer with 15 years of experience building high-scale distributed systems, data pipelines, and real-time services, now channeling his technical curiosity into music as a self-employed musician in training. His background includes designing and operating large-scale Hadoop/Spark clusters, graph clustering and deduplication systems, and production microservices at FullContact using technologies like Scala, Spark, Kafka, Flink, Cassandra, and AWS. Comfortable across DevOps, JVM performance tuning, and ML-informed data engineering, he pairs deep systems expertise with pragmatic tooling and monitoring practices. Based in Longmont, Colorado, he brings a tinkerer’s mentality—aptly described on GitHub as “some sort of internet dork”—that surfaces in both elegant engineering solutions and experimental creative pursuits. Expect a practiced problem-solver who can translate multi-terabyte analytics challenges into reliable production services and is now applying that discipline to learning music.
