๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, Iโ€™m Toan Le

๐Ÿ’ป Data Engineer | Software Architect | Code Enthusiast
๐Ÿต Runs on coffee, code reviews, and the occasional Spark job failure (on purposeโ€ฆ for testing ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ).


๐Ÿš€ About Me

Iโ€™m a data engineer with 10+ years of experience in building things that:

  • Move data from point A to point B (sometimes with a detour through C, D, and Kafka).
  • Make sense of petabytes of data without using ... Skynet ( ๐Ÿ’€ ) .
  • Turn messy lakes into beautiful, queryable, and secure data platforms.

Currently working at Mercedes-Benz AG on customer data platforms.
Before that: trivago, Shopback, startups, corporates โ€” if it has code, Iโ€™ve probably been there.

Translation: If it stores, moves, or transforms data, I can make it faster, cleaner, and less likely to wake you up at 3AM.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Skills I (claim to) have mastered

  • Languages: C#, Java, Scala, Python (and fluent in StackOverflow copy-paste).
  • Big Data: Spark, Kafka, Hive, Airflow, Presto.
  • Data Lakes: Delta Lake, Apache Hudi, Iceberg (yes, I can sink your Titanic of raw data ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ).
  • Databases: Postgres, SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redshift.
  • Clouds: AWS โ˜๏ธ, Azure โ˜๏ธ (soon Google Cloud, because why not?).
  • System Design: Microservices, ETL/ELT pipelines, messaging, CI/CD, distributed headaches.

๐ŸŽ“ Education

  • Master of Computer Science โ€“ Heilbronn Hochschule ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
  • Bachelor of Computer Science โ€“ Ho Chi Minh University of Technology ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ
  • Thesis topics: NLP, Computer Vision, and the art of surviving research with minimum sleep.

๐Ÿ˜‚ Fun Facts

  • I believe in KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid โ€” except for coffee orders.
  • Data Lakes are like real lakes: beautiful when clean, terrifying when polluted.
  • I mentor junior engineers, but mostly so I can steal their new keyboard shortcuts.
  • My commits are 50% code, 50% dad jokes in comments.

๐Ÿ“ซ Connect with Me

  • ๐ŸŒ LinkedIn
  • ๐Ÿ™ GitHub (well, youโ€™re already here)
  • ๐Ÿ“ง Carrier pigeon also accepted, but response time may vary.

โœจ Thanks for stopping by!
If you like SQL, Spark, or sarcasm โ€” weโ€™ll probably get along just fine.
