About Me
Building Systems to Create Useful Information
I am a Data Engineer with experience building reliable data pipelines and analytics-ready systems. My work covers the full data engineering cycle from API-based data ingestion and cloud storage to data transformation, data quality validation, data modeling, and analytics.
I have hands-on experience with Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, AWS S3, and Delta Lake. My approach to data engineering is focused on designing and implementing workflows that are structured, maintainable, and capable of delivering clean and reliable data.
Beyond Data Engineering
Technology is a major part of what I do, but it is not the only thing I enjoy. I believe exploring different ideas creates a well-rounded perspective.
