What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build and automate ETL pipelines, deliver actionable BI solutions, work with cross-functional teams, and grow in cloud and data engineering within a compliant, collaborative environment.

I am a data-focused developer with a B.S. in Computer Science and hands-on experience designing ETL pipelines, automating data processing with Python, and building Power BI dashboards in HIPAA-regulated healthcare environments. I write and optimize complex SQL (IBM DB2, SQL Server, PostgreSQL), manage SFTP-based integrations, and develop RESTful API solutions while leveraging AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and analysis.

I collaborate with business stakeholders to translate requirements into reporting and operational improvements, troubleshoot production issues across enterprise applications, and maintain thorough documentation and compliance with data governance and HIPAA standards. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and bring practical experience configuring contact center platforms, administering Microsoft 365/Active Directory concepts, and applying DevOps practices like Git, Docker, and CI/CD concepts.
