Senior Data Engineer | Snowflake · Azure Databricks · Semantic Modeling & AI Analytics
I've spent 6 years in the trenches of data engineering — the kind of work that nobody notices when it's running well, and everyone panics about when it isn't.
I've built pipelines that move and validate hundreds of millions of records across time zones, migrated legacy systems without breaking what depends on them, and quietly cut runtimes that were costing teams hours every day. My stack — Databricks, Snowflake, PySpark, dbt, Airflow, Azure — isn't a list of buzzwords. It's what I use every day to solve real problems.
Where I'm headed now is the intersection of data engineering and AI — building the kind of semantic layers and intelligent pipelines that make AI actually useful in production, not just in demos.
