Hello there, I am a big data admin with experience of 6 plus years only in big data. Overall 12 plus years of experience. I have built multiple clusters for big data of various vendors (hortonworks, cloudera, open source, bigtop) as well as pure vanilla versions which are open source. For Kafka, i have built many clusters overall that includes open source kafka, hdf kafka, hdp kafka, confluent kafka, kafka kraft and more. I prefer doing via automation to save time. I use ansible, terraform, python, and shell scripting.
I can put 10 hours a week, overall contributing 40 hours a month approx as I have normal hours job to do.
If interested, please do let me know. let us connect.
