Hadoop Administrator at Capgemini

We are using Amazon EMR for big data processing. We have a client which has financial data and we are using a big data framework to process the data. Amazon EMR is providing all these features needed and we are using Amazon S3 for storage purposes.

We are in the process of moving many aspects of our processes into clouds, such as AWS Managed Services for metrics. We want to migrate our graph and many other aspects to Amazon AWS.

A use case of this solution, for one of our clients with a large database of letters with addresses, is to predict if a person still lives at the listed address or if they have moved to another. We leverage EMR and SageMaker in AWS. 

EMR is cloud-based and managed through the cloud.

We use the solution to run spark script on our system for combination algorithms on our website. It's a Hadoop cluster to make the calculation to execute spark scripts. We have a cashback website and offer personalized recommendations to users and EMR is used to make the calculation by accessing user data. We also use this product for building a data lake using our numerous primary data sources. We've used EMR to make the latest version in the data lake. All data is stored in S3 bucket in a packet format. I'm Deputy CTO of the company.
