About Me
I'm a Data Developer with a decade of experience in designing, building, and maintaining data infrastructure that serves businesses with clear insights that matter.
I have extensive experience on all sides of the modern data stack:
- Getting data where it lives in the wild
- Constructing Cloud Databases to hold that data
- Ingesting and transforming it via scheduled, event-driven, or real-time streaming pipelines
- Serving it to the client, be that a dashboard, an application, a Data Analyst, or a Data Scientist
I specialize in the Financial Services and Insurance sector, and in the Snowflake Data Ecosystem ❄️
