I am a professional cloud architect, data engineer, and software developer with 18 years of solid work experience. I deliver solutions using a variety of technologies, selected based on the best fit for the task. I have experience aiding startups, offering consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as experience working on large enterprise initiatives. I am an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified Solutions Architect. I have expertise in data engineering and data warehouse architecture as well. I am well versed in cloud-native ETL schemes/scenarios from various source systems (SQL, NoSQL, files, streams, and web scraping). I use Infrastructure as Code tools (IaC) and am well versed in writing continuous integration/delivery (CICD) processes. Equally important are my communication skills and ability to interface with business executives, end users, and technical personnel. I strive to deliver elegant, performant solutions that provide value to my stakeholders in a "sane," supportable way. I have bachelor's degrees in Information Systems and Economics as well as a Master of Science degree in Information Management. I recently helped a client architect, develop, and grow a cloud-based advertising attribution system into a multi-million $ profit center for their company. The engagement lasted two years, in which I designed the platform from inception, conceived/deployed new capabilities, led client onboardings, and a team to run the product. The project started from loosely defined requirements, and I transformed it into a critical component of my client's business.
