About

I am a Data Engineer with nearly a decade of experience building and managing the data pipelines that power large-scale systems. My core expertise lies in engineering scalable infrastructure, but I also bring a perspective to the field that few others have. This perspective comes from an extensive academic background across Data Science, Linguistics, and Speech-Language Pathology. This background allows me to see beyond "text strings" to the underlying phonetic, syntactic, and semantic structures of data. By bridging the gap between traditional data infrastructure and emerging fields like Computational Linguistics, I offer a unique advantage in building the next generation of language-centric technology.
