What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build governed cloud data platforms and AI-ready data products, partnering across engineering, data science, product, and business teams to deliver scalable analytics, machine learning, and operational insights.

At Goldbelly, I architect an AWS-based Databricks-Snowflake Lakehouse that processes 8+ TB daily and powers enterprise analytics, ML, and executive reporting. I also built an AI-powered recommendation platform supporting 15M+ personalized recommendations daily.

I develop governed, resilient batch and real-time pipelines with Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming, Airflow, CDC, Delta Lake, and dbt. My work has reduced end-to-end latency by 65%, compute costs by 30%, and deployment time by 42%.

Previously at Slalom, I modernized CRICO's Candello healthcare risk intelligence platform using Python, SQL, Snowflake, dbt, and AWS, while improving complex reporting query performance by 45%. At American National, I migrated insurance data from legacy SQL Server and Oracle systems to AWS-based analytics platforms serving 500+ business users.

I'm focused on trusted, scalable data products that connect governed data with analytics, AI, operational reporting, fraud detection, and personalized customer experiences.
