About

I’m an independent data engineer who designs and ships reliable, practical solutions. I focus on four things: - Data pipelines & automation: robust ingestion, transformation, and orchestration. - Reporting & analytics: clear dashboards and metrics people actually use. - Custom web apps: lightweight tools that fit real workflows. - GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Run, Vertex AI): scalable, cost-sensible deployments. Previously Head of Data Products / Senior Data Engineer, I combine hands-on build quality with product thinking, so what we ship solves the right problem and keeps running smoothly. I’m open to contract, fractional, or project-based work. If you need someone to untangle pipelines, speed up reporting, or get a cloud app into production, let’s talk. Specialties: data modeling, ELT/ETL, dbt, APIs, CI/CD, cost optimization, monitoring, QA.

      I’m a data products leader who works closely with clients at every stage of the product lifecycle—listening to their needs, shaping solutions, and ensuring their success through delivery and beyond. Clear, honest communication is key: I value transparent feedback loops and a hands-on approach to making data-driven decisions. At the core of my leadership style is team empowerment.
