What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply systems and controls expertise while building cloud-based data pipelines, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow within a security-conscious, results-driven team.

I am an engineering professional with over 8 years of experience in systems, automation, and controls, now transitioning into data engineering. I lead cross-functional teams, manage projects from startup to completion, and translate business requirements into actionable deliverables on time and on budget.

I completed a competitive 16-week Data Engineering fellowship (DS4A) where I built ETL pipelines with Python, Spark, and AWS, analyzed 8,000,000 rows of data, presented to Walmart Global Tech, and served as an ambassador for the program.

My background includes systems and controls roles at the Department of Defense, Huntington Ingalls, Bechtel, and ConocoPhillips where I designed control logic, led integration and test activities, maintained SCADA systems, and implemented security and DevOps practices using container technologies.
