I am Adam Furmanek and I am a professional software engineer for almost a decade. Right now I am at Amazon working with Big Data, Spark, and Machine Learning.

That's why I like debugging, decompiling and disassembling the code to understand memory models, concurrency problems and other details hidden deeply inside. In my free time I play ping-pong, watch Woody Allen's movies and blog stuff at http://blog.adamfurmanek.pl

Geologist by background – MSc University of Wisconsin-Madison, American, started working for Equinor in Houston in 2015 as a geologist on the data management team.  Learned Python to automate most of my work and started moving into more interesting analytics projects.  Transferred to the Stavanger Equinor office in 2018 as an expat to do technical data science full time for Exploration including implementing data analytics, data visualization, Python workflows, and machine learning with various teams.  That evolved into Agile Product Owner roles for two cloud data engineering projects to provide data for data science work – a major gap we highlighted early on.
