Jeffrey W. Richardson mmasigung@gmail.com (512) 699-8556 . Page 1 of 4 SUMMARY Jeff has over 33 years of experience in IT consulting, product development and system operations. From his early degree in Electronic Data Processing to his current work in Big Data / Hadoop technologies, Jeff has continuously honed his skills, expertise, and passion in the design, development and implementation of large scale solutions. His most recent experiences have been with MetiStream, Inc., as a Big Data Architect supporting customer projects around data warehousing offload and optimization efforts to Hadoop. Leveraging Big Data open source technologies, Jeff led MetiStream’s efforts to design and build innovative tools and best practices to automate and expedite data warehouse migrations to Hadoop. While at IBM, Jeff achieved the highest level of IT Specialist Certification and his last assignment there was with the Big Data Analytics Center of Competency. For many large customer engagements, Jeff has been responsible for the development, operation and administration of large scale production, test and development environments including a number of significant Big Data initiatives at communication providers and banking institutions.
