About Jeff Vestal
Over ten years ago Jeff started working directly with individual prop traders and market makers then moved to commercial online brokerages where the focus is bringing the best trading experience to hundreds of thousands of customers. Throughout, he has worked to ensure all types of data, financial transaction, performance metrics, and logs, get to their destination on-time while creating robust monitoring and alerting to allow for quick notification, response, and resolution when incidents occur.He led the initiative to setup elastic Machine Learning at e*trade and created an elastic slackbot integration. Additional time is spent working with Kibana dashboards, creating alerts, and most recently building out Apache Airflow clusters and DAGs. He recently moved back to Chicago after a year in Georgia and enjoys woodworking and spending time with his wife, kids, and friends outside of work.
