My Story

My journey in software development began in 2018 when I started as a Junior Data Operations Analyst, working with HR systems and databases. This foundation in data operations and system administration gave me a deep understanding of how data flows through organizations and the importance of data integrity.

Over the past 6+ years, I've evolved from data operations to data engineering, working with diverse teams across various industries. From HR systems and recruiting platforms to building enterprise cloud data platforms and ETL pipelines, each project has taught me something new about data modeling, pipeline design, and the importance of data integrity at scale.

I believe that great data systems are built on a foundation of clean pipelines, thoughtful data modeling, and a deep understanding of stakeholder needs. My approach combines technical expertise with product-focused thinking, always striving to deliver solutions that are reliable, scalable, and actionable—with an emphasis on data integrity and reconciliation.
