I'm currently architecting scalable AWS Glue and Snowflake data pipelines at Northrop Grumman, improving ingestion, reporting accuracy, and data accessibility across finance and operations.

At EZSportsRP, I build automated real-time data pipelines with Apache Airflow and PostgreSQL, create data models, and implement governance practices including RBAC and metadata management.

My work spans modern cloud warehouses, dbt transformation workflows, legacy-system migrations, and SaaS data integration. Previously at Bellcore, I reduced manual report-generation time by 50% through Python-based extraction and transformation processes.

I began building data and application platforms at T-Mobile USA, Aeris Communications, and Semtech, working with REST APIs, SQL, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and React while mentoring engineers and improving operational workflows.
