Technical Customer Success Manager who engineers SQL-driven onboarding and production-ready data/API integrations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Technical Customer Success Manager specializing in data systems, APIs, and complex developer-facing product implementations. I work directly with engineering teams to design, debug, and scale data pipelines across cloud and hybrid environments, with a strong focus on SQL-driven troubleshooting, CDC pipelines, and production reliability.
I’ve built and scaled an enterprise onboarding program from scratch, improving time-to-value and first-year retention, and enabling large-scale customer deployments. At CData, I designed and scaled onboarding for CData Sync and ConnectAI used across enterprise customers, led migrations (~1,200 tables, 61M+ rows) across PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Oracle, and Databricks, and resolved CDC/incremental replication failures, schema drift, and high-volume workload issues—coordinating hotfixes with engineering while acting as a product advocate for better error handling and data validation.
