Summary
Steven Shaginyan is a Senior Data Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience and more than 20 years in high-tech roles, blending solutions architecture, full-stack development, and data engineering to deliver scalable, production-ready systems. He has driven technical strategy at companies from startups he co-founded to enterprise teams at Salesforce, Tableau, and Aiven, specializing in cloud-native data platforms, streaming and database services, and developer-focused demonstrations. Steven pairs strong JavaScript and Python live-coding skills with practical architecture work—building distributed crawlers, data pipelines, and production players that improved KPIs and powered new business lines. He mentors engineers, teaches, and has repeatedly introduced CI/CD, testing, and automation practices that reduced risk and sped delivery. Based in Los Angeles, he’s equally comfortable in sales-engineering and deep technical trenches, often translating customer needs into elegant, demonstrable solutions. A detail others may miss: he combines product-facing roles with founder-level experience in data collection and indexing, giving him uncommon fluency across technical, business, and operational concerns.
