Summary

Data engineer with 5+ years building data warehouses, ETL/ELT pipelines, dimensional models, and Power BI reporting, mostly in Azure Databricks, SQL, and Python. I turn what the business asks for into pipelines and reports people use. At Cargill, one order health report cut 95,000 emails and saved 6,630 hours a year, and a React audit app I led saved $1.5 million a year.
