## What I'm looking for

```text
Senior or lead data engineering role, fully remote, owning a data platform end to end: ingestion, dbt modeling, orchestration, semantic layer and warehouse cost. Open to contract or full time.
```

## About

```text
Senior data engineer with seven years turning operational data into trusted, cost-efficient analytics for e-commerce and education companies. I own platforms end to end: ingestion, warehouse modeling, orchestration, semantic layers, infrastructure and cost.

Recent work: moved core pipelines to an asset-based orchestration model (Dagster) for better reliability and freshness; co-led the architecture of a natural-language analytics product over governed metrics, connected to the data catalog and AI agents; led Airflow adoption and its move to infrastructure-as-code cloud hosting; led a semantic layer initiative for governed self-service BI; ran a Snowflake cost-optimization program.

Earlier, I led a data engineering team, set dbt, Airflow and Amundsen as standards, and migrated on-premise data services to Google Cloud.

I also built JurisRadar, a legal-tech SaaS, from multi-tenant backend to frontend and deployment. My Economics degree shapes how I weigh cost, value and priority.
```
