What I'm looking for

Senior/executive data leadership (Director/Principal) in Enterprise Data Governance, MDM, and data quality architectures. Seeking 100% remote roles (Global EOR, B2B contract, or US remote) or international relocation with visa sponsorship (EU Blue Card eligible). Prioritizes asynchronous operational cultures and high-impact regulatory or financial data systems.

At the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD-CPD), I architected validation pipelines and data quality frameworks that reconciled 10M+ records across municipal and federal databases. I also governed statutory grant calculation engines and maintained data lineage documentation for legislative and regulatory reporting.

At the University of Arizona, I served as Product Manager for the Trellis Data Catalog, developing data dictionaries and governance workflows to standardize institutional data. I also guided functional specifications and user acceptance testing for governance tooling.

At EvergreenCrucible, I direct architectural design, web integrations, and structured data taxonomies across digital platforms. I advise independent media and digital production ventures on asset metadata management and distributed content delivery architectures.
