I build systems that turn data into useful software.
Data engineer and technical builder focused on cloud data platforms, Python, analytics, APIs, and AI-powered applications. I like taking messy data problems and turning them into reliable products people can actually use.

Projects with a point of view.
A mix of data engineering, analytics, full-stack development, and applied AI. Older academic projects are included where they demonstrate useful technical depth.
Cloud Data & Analytics Engineering
Production-oriented work across AWS data services, Python, SQL, ETL, analytics, dashboards, and data products. The emphasis is on building reliable pipelines and useful interfaces on top of them.
RedHanded
NYC crime analysis and forecasting using a multi-gigabyte dataset, PySpark, Streamlit, spatial data, and statistical visualization.
r3cipe
A web application for discovering and sharing high-quality recipes, showing the ability to take an idea from data and product concept to web app.
Crystal-Ball
An earlier Python project demonstrating a long-running interest in building analytical and predictive software.
Architecture Diagrams
Software architecture deliverables that show the systems-thinking side of engineering—not just writing code.
Broad enough to ship.
Data Engineering
Python, SQL, Pandas, Polars, PySpark, Parquet, ETL/ELT, data modeling, APIs, pipelines.
AWS & Cloud
S3, Glue, Athena, Lambda, Step Functions, ECS/EKS, Fargate, DynamoDB, IAM-oriented architectures.
AI & Applications
Bedrock, LLM applications, agents, embeddings, FastAPI, Flask, Streamlit, dashboards, TypeScript.
Analytics
Tableau, Plotly, Altair, statistical analysis, forecasting, experimentation, and data storytelling.
Engineering
REST APIs, Docker, CI/CD, authentication, RBAC, cloud architecture, observability, testing.
Languages
Python first; strong SQL; TypeScript/JavaScript; plus experience across several supporting languages.
Engineering with ownership.
The portfolio is intentionally outcome-focused: systems built, problems solved, and engineering decisions—not a wall of job-title text.
Data Engineer / Technical Lead
Lead data engineering work spanning pipelines, cloud analytics, dashboards, data products, platform architecture, and developer tooling. Mentor engineers and interns while turning operational data into products used by teams.
Builder across data, web, and ML
Built projects ranging from large-scale crime analysis and spatial visualization to web applications, APIs, Python packages, and predictive analytics.
Programming since high school
Long-running interest in programming and systems that grew into a career focused on making data reliable, accessible, and actionable.
Looking for someone who can bridge data engineering and software?
I'm interested in engineering teams where strong data foundations, thoughtful architecture, and useful products all matter.
