Senior🎓
Top SchoolUsama Hussain is a Technical Lead Manager and senior engineer in New York with 12 years of experience building data infrastructure, cloud platforms, and reliable production systems. He leads Oscar Health’s Data Infrastructure and Infra Cloud teams, focusing on scalable, self‑service tooling and multi‑cloud (AWS/GCP) SRE practices that enable efficient data movement and processing across the organization. Prior to Oscar he shipped data engineering and backend work at Chartbeat and prototyped large-scale pipelines as an Insight Data Science fellow, including a petabyte-scale price crawler for online inflation research. He holds a Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from UW–Madison and spent years developing and optimizing distributed C++/Python frameworks at CERN, giving him deep expertise in high-throughput compute, signal-to-noise optimization, and experimental analysis. Usama combines hands-on systems engineering with people leadership—managing cross-functional SRE teams and driving platform adoption—while still diving into low-level performance and distributed compute challenges. An uncommon strength is his track record of translating complex physics-scale data problems into maintainable production pipelines that serve business metrics.
