What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable data platforms and backend services at companies valuing reliability, measurable impact, and collaborative product delivery.

I am a data engineer and backend developer with experience designing high-volume ETL pipelines, cloud-native architectures on AWS, and production APIs to support analytics and product teams. I have led small engineering teams and freelance projects, built data products that reduced compute and storage costs, and produced dashboards and integrations that improved client decision-making.

My background combines hands-on engineering (Python, Node.js, Airflow, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redshift) with product-focused delivery and operations experience running a small business. I prioritize reliable, cost-effective systems, clear collaboration with stakeholders, and delivering measurable business outcomes.
