PROFILE
Craig Dempsie
Chris Dempsie engineered four key infrastructure features over four months in the utilitywarehouse/kafka-cluster-config repository, focusing on data pipeline reliability and governance. He enhanced data indexing by integrating coffee account history into Elasticsearch using Terraform and HCL, enabling improved analytics. Chris strengthened Kafka security by implementing TLS-based authentication for customer data ingestion, and introduced a batch job to remove erroneous vulnerability assessments, leveraging AWS and Kafka modules for safe, auditable changes. He also optimized data retention policies across customer support topics, reducing storage costs and improving compliance. His work demonstrated depth in Infrastructure as Code, cloud configuration, and secure data operations.

Sep 1, 2025In Sep 2025, delivered Data Retention Policy Optimization for Customer Support Kafka Topics in utilitywarehouse/kafka-cluster-config. Implemented Terraform/config updates to set coffee topic to 1 month retention and applied defined retention windows to other topics: 1 year for some; 7 years for payments_audit_log_v1; 4 years for reminders, vulnerability, notes, and ticketing. This work was implemented through three commits: 16be399b91af51c67ebed9b727ee2c498d1cc6de, 993dcb0a03cbe568171f5f50f3e7d7c993d15c11, 5bfbf25808a5cc1f343b70396e8a5edc2e6a26ed. These changes reduce storage costs, improve governance, and set a repeatable pattern for policy updates via Terraform.

Mar 1, 2025Concise monthly summary for 2025-03 focused on delivering secure Kafka client configuration for the Origin customer importer within utilitywarehouse/kafka-cluster-config. Enabled TLS-based authentication and secure data transmission to Kafka, introduced a new module instance to manage TLS application settings, and enabled data production to the vulnerability_v6 topic on the customer-support Kafka cluster. These changes strengthen data security, support security/compliance, and improve readiness for secure vulnerability data ingestion.
