Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Carbone is Head of Data at Unsplash with 11 years of experience building large-scale data platforms and pipelines. He designed Unsplash’s data architecture from scratch—collecting 600+ GB/day and ~1,500 behavioural events/sec—and led efforts across batch and real-time systems on AWS and GCP using tools like Airflow, dbt, Redshift, BigQuery and Snowplow. A hands-on engineer who moved from sole-data-team implementer to leader, he published the Unsplash Dataset, one of the largest open image datasets for ML research. His background blends computer engineering and business strategy, and he’s particularly strong at bridging data engineering, product analytics and operational monitoring. Based in Montreal, he combines deep systems know-how (Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL) with a knack for turning high-throughput logs into product features and actionable business insight.
