About

I’m a Senior Data Engineer who loves turning chaos into clean, scalable systems that actually make sense. Over the past few years, I’ve built data foundations for growing DTC and retail brands, modern warehouses, automated pipelines, and analytics layers that keep teams confident in their numbers. I’ve led projects that rebuilt analytics stacks from the ground up and helped cross-functional teams go from “we think” to “we know.” My sweet spot is that blend of strategy and hands-on building where business context meets data design. These days, I’m excited about helping early-stage teams lay the groundwork for data that scales with them. The kind that’s fast, reliable, and built so everyone can actually use it.
