What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable data platforms and real-time pipelines at companies valuing clear communication, ownership, and measurable impact.

I am an experienced software engineer with seven years of development experience and three years focused on lakehouse architecture, ETL/ELT design, and real-time streaming systems. I deliver high-impact technical change through clear vision, effective communication, and hands-on ownership of production infrastructure and CI/CD systems.

At AWS I built and maintained large-scale data lakes, engineered low-latency streaming pipelines, authored AWS CDK infrastructure, and optimized PySpark transformations to reduce costs by 35%. Prior work with the U.S. Air Force includes performance-critical flight-test data processing, secure software delivery, and award-winning training platforms.
