<p>I have an industrial experience of 4 years in providing solutions for distributed systems using <strong>open source/Big Data</strong> technologies. I have hands-on experience in <strong>Hadoop, Pig, Hive, Flume, Sqoop &amp; NoSQLs like Cassandra &amp; MongoDB</strong>. I possess knowledge of cloud technologies and have production experience on <strong>Amazon AWS</strong>.</p>

<p>My area of expertise includes developing large scale distributed systems for analyzing big sets of data. Currently I am a <strong>Big Data developer at IBM working on the data clusters of Sprint using Hortonworks Data Platform</strong>. I have also worked on <strong>machine learning</strong> using <strong>scikit-learn</strong>. I architected an end-to-end solution to perform clickstream analysis for <a href="http://www.tradus.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tradus.com</a>. I also played an instrumental role in providing distributed searching capabilities using <strong>Solr</strong> for <a href="http://www.gulfnews.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GulfNews.com</a> (one of UAE’s most viewed newspaper websites).</p>

<p>For me, new languages are not a barrier. I am particularly proficient in <strong>Java &amp; Python</strong>, along with frameworks like <strong>Struts &amp; Django</strong>. I have always been fascinated by the open source world and constantly give back to the community.</p>
