I’m the architect of our data science platform team, enabling our data scientists, analysts, and meteorologists to develop their insights and bring them to market. I serve as the primary data engineering contact for the department, having built data warehouses with Redshift, DBT, and DMS, and ELT applications with Python and Kubernetes. I contribute to our DevOps and Data Engineering guilds and mentor junior engineers.Previously, I was on a centralized data architecture team that consulted our development teams on how to effectively migrate data systems to AWS, introduce better analytics practices, and reduce cross-team information silos.Some technologies I've used here: Terraform, Terragrunt, Python, Dask, Spark, AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), AWS Redshift, Kubernetes, GitLab, BitBucket, Bamboo, Amundsen, Airflow, Prefect

Enterprise Data Lake: Regional Health InsuranceWorked to build Lambda, SQS, and S3 based data pipelines capable of ingesting any enterprise data source into the data lake. Pipelines can apply API enrichments to record-level data (AVRO) at a throughput of millions of records/min. Built framework so that all data operations within pipelines were self-audited at the record level. Built asynchronous pipeline monitoring system to trigger Glue jobs on SQS pipeline completion.Built an event-driven file-registration system (S3/ Lambda) that onboarded source files within to the data lake, executed audit-related business logic, and triggered downstream ETL processes (Talend, Glue).Built Lambda functions (Lambda, CloudWatch, Glue) to support Glue operations within the lake.Practiced test-driven development (TDD) and led organizational efforts to improve TDD adoption within CICD pipelines.Facilitated “skill-up” sessions to evangelize a modern engineering approach to data products to a traditional data organization, leading discussions on Java, software-engineering practices, Avro, Terraform, Lake architecture, and AWS services like Lambda, SQS, and S3.

Full stack application development in an Agile environment utilizing React, Spring Boot, MySQL, and IBM DB2. Practiced test-driven development to ensure code quality, using Spock on the backend, Pitest for backend mutation testing, and Enzyme and Jest on the frontend. Stood up CICD pipeline to accelerate development lifecycle. Delivered product to SVP of IT and effectively communicated project goals and future implications.

Worked on the back-end development team of Elavon's cloud-based e-commerce API, where I collaborated closely with team members in an Agile/Scrum environment. Primary responsibility was continuing work on building out an internal monitoring service to improve stability in a microservices architecture. Technology used: Java, Spring, Spring Cloud Stream, Spring Security, Maven, Jenkins, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Postman, Red Hat LinuxWorked on a community outreach project with the Atlanta Junior Achievement Discovery Center to integrate NFC payments into JA Biztown, an economy simulation program that every 6th grade student in the Atlanta area will go through that empowers them to discover the intricacies of being a professional and member of the community by taking on the challenge of fueling a business.
