TL;DR · The map-making production process was slower and more expensive than it needed to be. I owned an end-to-end architectural redesign, coordinating across operations and engineering, that cut production time by 50% and delivered significant cost savings.

The problem

Map-making production ran through a pipeline whose architecture had grown slower and costlier than the business could justify.

The approach

I led the initiative to streamline the process through architectural enhancements, owning the redesign end to end and coordinating across operations and engineering. The implementation ran on Spark applications built for AWS EMR, optimized for data processing efficiency.

The outcome

  • Production time down 50%.
  • Significant infrastructure cost savings.

Why it matters

Halving the cycle time of a core production workflow is the kind of result that only comes from treating architecture as a business lever, not a technical detail.
