Data platforms that move business outcomes, not just pipelines that run green. End-to-end ownership across streaming and batch, strong engineering standards, AI-driven automation, and a team that treats data as a product. If the work connects to revenue or decisions that matter - that's where I do my best work.

What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 4 years at Wells Fargo, where I've built the data infrastructure powering commercial banking decisions for 260,000+ clients.
My work spans the full stack - real-time streaming pipelines with 10-minute SLAs, batch transformation across medallion architectures, a leads engine that converted data signals into $2.6M in revenue, and an ETL validation platform now adopted as standard across 10+ teams. I don't just build pipelines; I build things other engineers actually want to use.
Technically I work across PySpark, Spark SQL, dbt, Apache Airflow, Delta Lake, Databricks, and cloud platforms on both Azure and AWS. Lately I've been building AI agents to automate engineering toil — replacing manual schema changes and data contract coordination with systems that just handle it.
I'm looking for roles where data engineering connects directly to product outcomes, the bar for technical quality is high, and there's real appetite to use AI to raise what a small team can accomplish.
Experience
