Message

At North Highland (formerly The Bridge), I design and implement production ELT pipelines with Snowflake, dbt, Apache Airflow, and dlt. I also build Snowflake data models and data quality controls across development, QA, and production.

I develop SQL and Python transformations, integrating SQL Server, APIs, and file-based sources into bronze, silver, and gold data layers. I’ve also developed Streamlit applications and operational reporting assets for data validation and monitoring.

Before North Highland, I engineered data pipelines and reporting datasets at Stratplus, Claro, and Caterpillar. My work has included dimensional modeling, Power BI dashboards, Azure Data Factory, machine learning initiatives, and SQL Server ETL processes.
