What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am a seasoned data engineer with a strong background in building and optimizing data pipelines. My recent role as an Independent Consultant at KGEN GAMING allowed me to enhance community engagement by 20% through innovative social media data analysis. I successfully reduced query costs by approximately 93% by implementing design-level changes in the data platform, showcasing my ability to drive significant cost savings while improving operational efficiency.

Previously, as a Senior Data Engineer at H1Life, I optimized ETL jobs and upgraded technologies to save time and costs. My experience at Twilio as a Software Engineer involved designing automated fraud detection pipelines that processed massive datasets efficiently, preventing high-impact frauds. I have a proven track record of mentoring new talent and collaborating across teams to achieve organizational goals.
