What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cloud-native data platform and integration work where I can improve data quality, governance, observability, and analytics outcomes while mentoring engineers and partnering with product and analytics teams.

At Carta Healthcare, I architect enterprise-scale AWS data platforms for healthcare analytics and operational reporting, processing high-volume datasets with 99% data integrity.

I've orchestrated PySpark, ANSI SQL, Apache Airflow, and dbt pipelines with 99.9% data availability, while reducing Snowflake and Databricks query latency by 30% and cloud compute costs by 20%. I also lead EHR integrations using HL7 and FHIR, build governance frameworks, and implement Terraform-based CI/CD deployments.

Previously at Dagster Labs, I built multi-tenant SaaS data platforms, real-time Kafka, Flink, and Debezium CDC pipelines, and trusted analytics datasets for Tableau and self-service BI.

My earlier work at Dwolla and Broadleaf Commerce included secure financial data pipelines, fraud monitoring, payment and trading API integrations, e-commerce ETL, identity resolution, and modernization of SQL Server/SSIS workflows. I enjoy setting engineering standards, mentoring junior engineers, and delivering governed data products that teams can trust.
