OVERVIEW
I am a Senior Data Engineer looking to transition my skills to Data and Solution Architecting as well as project management. I have spent the better part of the last decade refining my abilities in taking business requirements and turning those into actionable data engineering, analytics, and software projects with trackable metrics. I believe in agnosticism when it comes to coding languages and have experimented in my own time with many different languages. In my career I have used Python, .NET, PowerShell, TSQL, VB and SAS (multiple products) in an Enterprise capacity. I also have experience using Google Cloud Platform and AWS tools for ETL and data platform development as well as git for version control and deployment using various IAC tools. I have also conducted data analysis and modelling on business metrics to find relationships between both staff and customer behavior and produced actionable recommendations based on the conclusions. In a private context I have also experimented with C, C# and Kotlin I am looking to further my career by taking my passion for data engineering and analysis as well as web and software development and applying it in a strategic context.
