Who I Am

I'm a data engineer focused on healthcare data infrastructure. I design and build scalable ELT pipelines, data governance frameworks, and cloud-based analytics platforms that support clinical and public health programs.

My recent work spans enterprise Master Data Management systems, HIPAA-compliant data platforms, and Snowflake-based warehouse architectures serving state and federal health programs. I bring a pragmatic, compliance-first approach to every pipeline and platform I build.

I'm driven by the impact that reliable, well-governed data has on healthcare decision-making at the population level — where a well-built pipeline can directly influence how resources reach the people who need them most.
