Alation is a metadata intelligence platform that allows businesses to harness the power of their metadata to realize value for every data and AI intiative.

The Alation Metadata Catalog is an empty canvas until it is populated with metadata. I own, operate, and contribute to the platform infrastructure and services that enable pulling metadata from customers’ on-premise and cloud databases into Alation. That encompasses several components:

• Alation Agent: An on-premise appliance customers install within their network boundary to bring in metadata from on-premise databases into Alation’s cloud without compromising their security posture or opening holes in their firewall. The appliance is supported by a suite of cloud native services to orchestrate and manage its connectivity.
• Open Connector Framework: a framework that enables Alation and its partners to quickly build database connectors
• Alation Connector Manager: a stack that orchestrates and manages the database connectors both in Alation’s cloud and in customers’ environments

Tools:

• Golang, Python, Rust, Java
• PostgreSQL, Redis, S3
• AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Airflow

Journera is a travel technology company. We partner with travel providers, marketers, and technologists to bring together a real-time view of a traveler’s journey. With the secure and private exchange of shared customer data, we elevate travel experiences, strengthen loyalty, increase direct engagement, and facilitate operational efficiencies.

I unblocked integrations with smaller travel partners whereby I developed shims to bring their file-based data into Journera’s event API. Additionally, I built real-time pipelines to bring data from airline partners’ data streams into the Journera platform, and I expanded our integrations with marketing data platforms.
