Ethan Newsome-Jackson
@ethannewsome-jackson
Data engineer specializing in scalable ETL pipelines, cloud integration, and automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a data engineer experienced in automating workflows and building scalable ETL pipelines using Python and SQL, with hands-on experience in Google Cloud (BigQuery, GCS) and data transformation. I have delivered projects that scaled to tens of millions of records, improved data consistency, and reduced data-validation failures to under 1% through resilient pipeline design and automation.
My background includes practical engineering discipline from years as an electrical design engineer, where I led cross-functional teams, managed schedules and budgets, and designed reusable systems—skills I apply to designing robust data architectures, schema-driven pipelines, and stakeholder-focused analytics solutions.
