01 / About

A little about me.

A technical professional who enjoys sitting between data, engineering and business.

My career has grown from software and data work into roles where I solve data problems, understand business requirements and help teams turn those requirements into reliable technical solutions.

My strongest foundation is SQL and data engineering. I work across ETL/ELT, cloud data platforms, healthcare data, analytics and workflow automation — while continuously expanding toward data architecture and solution architecture.
