If you need a Splunk expert who delivers clear results, optimized searches, and stable cloud integrations — I’m ready to help.

I build production data systems and deploy the AWS infrastructure they run on. Client work spans cybersecurity, genomics, social media, and NLP — each with multi-service architectures, fault tolerance, and domain-specific data models. I hold both AWS Solutions Architect Professional and DevOps Engineer Professional certifications. **Streaming & Event-Driven Systems** — Real-time pipelines with complex fanout, rate limiting, and fault tolerance. A cybersecurity threat intelligence platform with 11 parallel Kinesis stream processors. A serverless social media pipeline ingesting millions of posts per day to Snowflake. A config-driven data collection platform where adding a new source is a YAML file. **LLM Processing & Knowledge Graphs** — AI systems that extract structured knowledge from unstructured data. A 7-year production Neo4j graph database serving clinicians and researchers with 35,000+ genetic alleles. Entity extraction using LLMs and semantic embeddings with cross-document resolution and knowledge graph persistence. **AWS Infrastructure** — Multi-account landing zones with Organizations, SCPs, IAM Identity Center, and per-account security baselines. Iceberg data platforms with Glue, Athena, and EMR. Battle-tested Terraform templates that encode solutions to problems I've already solved. **Stack:** Python | Kafka, Kinesis, SQS/SNS | Neo4j, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, vector databases | Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK | Spark, dbt, Athena, Glue, EMR | Iceberg, Dagster | FastAPI, Docker Every engagement includes full documentation, architecture decisions, and structured handoffs — so your next engineer can continue without reverse-engineering intent. **AWS Certified:** Solutions Architect Professional + DevOps Engineer Professional - AWS Solutions Architect Professional (2/2025 – 2/2028) - AWS DevOps Engineer Professional (1/2025 – 1/2028) - AWS Developer Associate (1/2023 – 1/2028) - AWS SysOps Administrator Associate (1/2023 – 1/2028) Engagements start with a discovery call to scope the work, followed by a product requirements document, statement of work, and 50% deposit.

If your looking for the best, hiring a top 1% consultant = saved time and money. I'm your guy I help companies with valuable datasets organize and simplify their data to bring value without the stress of managing the implementation. 10 years of experience to handle the entire process with minimal hand holding to bring you maximal value in a shortest time. Observability and data analysis Cluster architecture, mappings, data strategies, ingest pipelines. I work to optimize all of these so that the data can start providing value ASAP. Search RAG, semantic search, lexical search, hybrid, ANN, KNN, chatbot, vector search, recommendation engines, analyzers, suggestions and search as you type are all important to curating a product your customers can't resist using. Offload the mental stress of sorting out the nitty gritty details of implementation and let me help create your data system for you. Clients often refer to me as their “cheat code” because a brief call with me can replace hours of frustrating trial & error and research. I have a simple goal: 1) To fully understand your needs, 2) Eliminate any stress or confusion, and 3) Deliver precisely what you’re looking for—taking care of all the details for you. I know how frustrating it can be to hire freelancers who complicate things further, communicate poorly, surprise you with unexpected costs, and require so much oversight that it feels easier to handle the work yourself. Types of work I’ve done: Search Engine Development: Built and optimized high-performance search engines with a focus on user experience, achieving sub-500ms response times. A good search engine prioritizes user experience above all. The user needs to 1) get what they want (relevance), and 2) as fast as you can give it to them <500ms (latency), it's that simple. Full ELK Stack Implementations: Designed and deployed ELK stacks for diverse industries, including healthcare and renewable energy, handling everything from parsing error logs to integrating with third-party tools like Jira and Twitter. Custom Dashboard Creation: Developed visually appealing and functional dashboards for data visualization, enhancing team productivity and decision-making. Automation and Optimization: Automated cluster installations and optimized Logstash/filebeat/ingest pipelines configurations for efficient data processing and error handling. I will explain things in layman's terms and not fill an explanation of how something works with technical jargon. I will be clear with my expectations and happy to explain how things work so you can do it yourself. Let's work on your project together so that you can get what you want out of your data. Additional Competencies: API integration with ELK: Facebook, Google Analytics, Twitter, etc... Automation of ELK: Bash and Ansible External Database Syncing with ELK: SQL, MongoDB Misc: Readonly Rest, Own_home, Searchguard, Graphite, alerting, siem, watcher, docker, AWS, OpenSearch Filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat, Vega, RAG, LLM, AI augmented search, index templates,

Hello, my name is Nathan and I have a variety of skills that I offer on Upwork. My focus is on drone photogrammetry (primarily with Pix4D and ContextCapture), lidar data processing (with Terrascan) and GIS consulting and analysis. So far the largest drone project I have processed is more than 50,000 images over a target area of 51 square kilometers. My workstation is powerful enough to handle any size of a drone mapping project you have (and most projects captured from a manned aircraft as well). I hold a Certified Photogrammetrist rating from the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) as well as a GISP Certification through the GIS Certification Institute. I have been working remotely since the beginning of 2016 for a GIS consulting company in the United States (Resource Management Systems, Ashfield MA); that company specializes in historic research of aerial photographs for legal cases. At that time I also began my Masters in GIS through Penn State University. My studies focused on the applications of drones in mapping. I completed the degree in October, 2022. I also have full-time experience working in utilities mapping both as a drone pilot with a power company and a technician at a Lidar aerial survey firm. Not only can I process photogrammetric imagery and Lidar scans, but I am also FAA Part 107 Certified. I understand the legal restrictions and complications that a drone pilot deals with and can help plan missions to acquire the best data possible. That's me! Feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to working with you.
