Thank you for visiting my personal site.
My focus and experience: I believe in the power of a prepared mind because it facilitates a highly resilient understanding. I am passionately against Adam Smith's conceptualization of specialization. My passion is productivity which comes through knowledge which comes from information which is always hidden in data.
From scaling Fotolog, a top 13 site (based on worldwide traffic / Alexa) to successfully recovering from a $100M disaster (I recovered data single handedly after refusals from top disaster recovery consultants) to architecting/engineering a highly elastic, multi-graph processing company (multiple tenancy on Akamai/AWS), my passion has been to fully focus on adding value through knowledge, alignment, understanding, execution and innovation.
My passion: Data is the most valuable asset of an organization. Yet, few organizations have the right tools and resources to understand and tame data. I see so much discomfort with data that my favorite talk to give at data and scalability conferences is "Real life Data Administration Hell".
My competitive advantage is taming and understanding data. At the most granular level both information and knowledge are in fact, data. The application or placement of data turns it into either information or knowledge. Knowledge of one entity may be perceived as information by another and information overload by yet another entity.
Stress drives uncertainty but exists only in definitions: My very unique experience and education enables me to effortlessly handle the ugliest big data challenges with a smile on my face. For a mission-focused team, that means I can offer comfort-driven rapid execution to help team members fully focus in their optimal comfort zones.
Taking ownership vs doing the job: Having run all data operations of a top 13 site single-handedly (a truly outlier and valuable experience ), I am in search of taking full ownership of data engineering / data operations for a company that is dealing with truly massive, big data sets and wants to create a true competitive advantage through a scalable platform for innovation by remaining lean and without blowing their budgets.
Continuous learning through experimentation: I believe in continuous learning so I have three projects of my own to focus and innovate my skills so I can be prepared to accept my next challenges.
My inventions: I believe in passion, innovation and entrepreneurship. Some of my patent pending inventions include an Entity Engine(™), an Entity-Oriented Programming(™) framework, a Personal Relationship Management engine, a technology for Verified Visits(™) (local marketing), one-page based information architectures and a past and Intended Location Visitation Analytics engine.
Comfort for user and data deluge: Let me add value to your efforts and investments by ensuring an optimal path that will not need to be re-architected when user deluge happens.
I am prepared. Are you? E-mail me at frank at mashraqi dot com to put my experience and competitive advantage at work for you.
