What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, secure data platforms and real-time analytics solutions where strong governance, data quality, healthcare compliance, and mentoring other engineers create measurable operational impact.

At MarketplaceAI, I build healthcare data architecture and real-time pipelines with Apache Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Spark, and AWS. I reduced data latency by more than 50% while strengthening governance, monitoring, security, and compliance for analytics teams.

Previously, I led modernization work at Bridgestone Americas and built data warehouse, reporting, and machine learning solutions at Kenda Tires. I also mentor emerging data professionals through DataKind and teach programming and data skills with Code for America.
