Data Engineer → Forward Deployed Engineer
I help e-commerce and ops teams make sense of data that doesn't agree with itself.
About
“I help teams that inherited chaos, mismatched platforms and no shared schema, ship something that holds.”
I'm a Data Engineer who gets dropped into messy, real-world data and makes it work. Across e-commerce (Wix, TikTok Shop, Walmart, Shein), AdTech, and EdTech, I've built pipelines that survive inconsistent schemas, duplicate records, and platforms that don't agree with each other, then shipped the fix, not just the diagnosis.
I specialize in Python, SQL, dbt, Airflow, and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Snowflake, BigQuery), and I deploy what I build (Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes), not just prototype it. My background as a Mechanical Engineering graduate and university instructor means I can take an ambiguous problem, structure it, and explain it clearly to whoever owns it, engineer or not.
