What I'm looking for

I seek senior data engineering roles where I can lead analytics platform design, improve data integrity, mentor engineers, and deliver actionable insights in fast-moving retail or supply chain environments.

I am an AWS-certified data engineer with over 20 years of experience focused on analytics and data platform engineering for the apparel and footwear industry.

At Zappos/Amazon I led backend development for long-range merchandise planning, optimized PostgreSQL and Redshift performance, reduced database footprint by ~60%, and built ETL and Scala processes to extract nested product attributes.

Previously I owned enterprise data warehouse and BI initiatives—designing SSAS models, enabling Power BI real-time dashboards, building SSRS executive reports, and cutting a month/quarter/year-end process from four hours to two minutes.

I blend hands-on engineering, data modeling, and cross-functional leadership to deliver reliable analytics, mentor engineers, and design processes that improve data integrity and accelerate business decision-making.
