At Alteryx, I architect AWS and Snowflake data platforms that unify 47 sources and sustain 9.4 billion monthly events. I improved daily data availability by 58 minutes and cut Snowflake compute spend by 31% through incremental dbt MERGE patterns.

I build governed, replayable data systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP, from source contracts and ingestion through Medallion Architecture, security, observability, CI/CD, and production support. My work includes Kafka CDC, Apache Iceberg, Airflow, Dagster, Terraform, and semantic layers for analytics teams.

At Amgen, I owned bronze, silver, and gold Databricks architecture for 18 regulated clinical, laboratory, and manufacturing feeds processing 3.1 TB daily. I helped reduce Azure cluster spend by 24%, decreased recurring data-quality incidents by 27%, and migrated legacy Hadoop, Hive, SQL Server, and SSIS workloads without disrupting regulated reporting.

Earlier, I delivered audit analytics warehouses at UHY and enterprise ETL solutions at Centric Consulting. I enjoy turning competing requirements from product, finance, security, clinical, and analytics teams into maintainable data platforms with clear controls and dependable outcomes.
