Career Overview
About Me
12+ years building data platforms and analytics solutions
Summary
I'm a Senior Analytics Engineer with 12+ years of experience in Business Intelligence, data engineering, and platform modernization. My career has evolved from BI developer to data platform builder — I now own the executive reporting infrastructure at Care.com, including 200+ dbt models and ARIA, an AI-powered analytics agent I built from a hackathon project into a production platform used by 15 beta users including C-suite executives.
I specialize in the modern data stack: Snowflake, dbt Cloud, and Tableau — with deep experience leading platform migrations, driving measurable business impact, and enabling teams through self-service analytics. Based in Austin, TX.
