Data Engineer

I build data pipelines, apps, and more.

About

Months from finishing my Finance degree, I laid awake, haunted by a persistent curiosity: How does technology operate so flawlessly? How do we get instant global updates or crystal-clear video calls? This fascination with the magical transmission of data sparked a career shift from Finance to Data Engineering for me. Now, I'm dedicated to exploring and enhancing the digital magic that unites our world!

As a data engineer, I manage data warehouse strategies for products, solving specific problems and ensuring data availability. I collaborate with engineers and data scientists to meet data needs and present insights. I build and maintain data models and visualizations, and independently develop ETL processes in production, also mentoring others on efficient querying. Additionally, I ensure privacy, security, and compliance in my areas and support ongoing processes, managing SLAs for these data sets.

When I'm not at my computer, I'm out exploring new hiking trails or taste testing eateries in San Francisco.
