Ethan Newsome-Jackson

Systems engineer with 9+ years of experience across electrical design and HVAC/Building Automation Systems, actively transitioning into data engineering. Designed time-series monitoring infrastructure across 10–12 hotel properties — trend logs, tiered alerting, and analytical reporting — then used the resulting data to drive equipment retrofits and automation updates that cut annual utility costs by 35–40%, and led a BAS platform migration evaluation that verified data integrity across protocols. Independently built four data engineering projects: a U.S. Census ETL pipeline on Google Cloud Platform (Python, SQL, BigQuery), an API-driven real-estate analyzer with exponential-backoff cost engineering, a full-stack civic-information web app integrating the Claude LLM API, and a containerized PostgreSQL development environment (Docker, psycopg2). Holds the DataCamp Data Engineer Certificate and Salesforce Anypoint Platform Development Fundamentals (DEX401). Brings systems thinking, infrastructure rigor, and a record of standardizing and improving operational workflows.
