Taylor Yang
@tayloryang
Senior Data Engineer specializing in Snowflake/dbt pipelines, performance optimization, and secure enterprise data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior data engineer with 6 years of experience architecting and scaling enterprise data infrastructure. I’ve built and modernized mission-critical pipelines that enable business-wide decision-making, particularly in Big Pharma.
I’ve migrated legacy ETL workloads from mostly AWS services to Snowflake and Airflow, improving orchestration reliability and data accessibility. I focus on performance and cost optimization, including speeding up AWS Fargate dbt task processing by 30% using dbt core capabilities.
I also lead robust data architecture and governance—implementing Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold) with dbt and Snowflake to standardize data quality. To raise accuracy for high-stakes workflows, I architected a Human-in-the-Loop validation framework (Python/Airflow) achieving 99%+ accuracy, alongside centralized secret management to strengthen security across automated runs.
