I design and operate scalable data infrastructure and platforms — with a particular focus on fast, resilient pipelines, clean data models for analytics, and automation that keeps teams shipping confidently. I enjoy mentoring, documenting architecture clearly, and turning complex data flows into repeatable, trustworthy systems.
- 💼 Co-founder at Beyond Data Network
- ✍🏽 I write on Collective Analytics
- 🌐 Connect with me on LinkedIn
- Architect end-to-end data platforms (ETL/ELT, streaming, storage, compute).
- Build reliable orchestration & automation (CI/CD, observability, alerting).
- Deliver analytics-ready datasets and data products for business stakeholders.
- Coach engineers on scalable design patterns, testable data pipelines, and safe deployment practices.
🏗️ Architecture & Platform Design
- Multi-tenant ETL/ELT flows with low-latency ingestion
- In-memory DuckDB matching logic for real-time processing
- Polars-first transformation layer for high-performance analytics
- Event-driven architecture with Kafka/PubSub messaging
- Microservices on Kubernetes with auto-scaling capabilities
🔍 Data Quality & Monitoring
- Dataset-level validation with Great Expectations
- Automated quarantine flows for failing records
- Human-in-the-loop review systems for data quality
- Real-time alerting via Slack/Teams integration
- Comprehensive observability with Grafana dashboards
- Platform / Production Pipelines — built multi-tenant ETL/ELT flows with low-latency ingestion, in-memory DuckDB matching logic, and a Polars-first transformation layer.
- Monitoring & Validation — implemented dataset-level validation, quarantining failing records, and human-in-the-loop review flows for data quality.
- Developer DX — introduced devcontainers, Kapstan-like tooling, and CI patterns for reproducible developer environments and faster iterations.
