If your data pipelines are slow, breaking, or producing dashboards your team doesn’t trust — I fix that.
Most data engineers can build a pipeline. Fewer make sure it is fast, reliable, well-modeled, and feeding dashboards your business can actually use for decisions.
I’m a Microsoft Certified Fabric Data Engineer specializing in Microsoft Fabric, Azure data pipelines, Lakehouse/Warehouse architecture, Databricks, Snowflake, and Power BI semantic models.
I help teams build the full data layer: from raw source systems and APIs, to clean Bronze/Silver/Gold pipelines, to properly modeled warehouses, to Power BI dashboards that perform at scale.
Recent results:
* Reduced a daily pipeline runtime from 8 hours to 30 minutes
* Eliminated around 95% of manual data errors by automating third-party API integrations
* Saved a data team 20+ hours per week through automated monitoring and reporting
* Reduced manual data preparation time by 60% with end-to-end Azure pipelines
* Built Power BI dashboards for retail, sales, and supply chain clients, with 5-star client feedback
What I can help with:
* Microsoft Fabric pipelines, Lakehouse, Warehouse, and medallion architecture
* Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Azure SQL, and Data Lake pipelines
* PySpark and Spark SQL for large-scale data processing
* Power BI semantic models, DAX optimization, and executive dashboards
* Data modeling, star schemas, fact/dimension design, and ERDs
* SQL optimization, data quality checks, and pipeline monitoring
* Snowflake and dbt for modern cloud warehouse solutions
How I work:
* Clear communication and regular project updates
* Loom walkthroughs for architecture, logic, and deliverables
* Clean, documented, production-ready code your team can maintain
* Strong focus on reliability, data quality, and long-term maintainability
* Available for async collaboration across US, UK, and EU time zones
If you need reliable pipelines, clean data models, and dashboards your team can trust, send me a message.

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 2021. 181 projects done, 8,000+ hours logged, 100% Job Success across all of them.
I mostly do *Real Estate Researcher* property management, lead generation, and Data Entry VA. To give you a feel for the actual work: I've built B2B lead lists for real estate, EdTech, healthcare, agencies, and non-profits; researched and reached out to TikTok and Instagram influencers for brand campaigns; compiled speaker and attendee lists for industry conferences (lots of EdTech work specifically); cleaned up CRM records and built databases from scratch; and handled day-to-day VA work like inbox management, scheduling, follow-ups, and document prep.
What I'm strongest at is 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. That's where 8,000+ hours of practice show up. I'll happily take on other VA-style tasks too, but if you need graphic design, paid ads, or coding, I'm probably not the best fit.
The clearest signal I can give about how I work is 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. A few clients have come back to me for 9, 7, and 3 separate projects. That tends to say more than anything I could write here.
𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆:

New tools don't slow me down, I pick them up fast.

I design and implement scalable systems across operations, data, and automation to eliminate manual work and improve reliability across business processes.
Most growing teams face the same core issues: fragmented tools, inconsistent data, and workflows that break under scale. I solve this by building structured systems where processes, data, and automation are properly connected, standardized, and governed.
⚙️ Operations & Workflow Systems
I design operational systems with clear logic, ownership, and execution layers using tools like Notion, ClickUp.
This includes:
Process standardization and SOP design
Workflow architecture (states, triggers, dependencies)
Task and project management systems
Cross-team coordination frameworks
Bottleneck identification and performance optimization
The goal is to create predictable, scalable operations where teams execute efficiently without constant manual oversight.
🔄 Automation, API Layer & System Integration
I build automation systems that connect tools and execute business logic end-to-end using platforms like n8n, Zapier, Make (Integromat), and custom API integrations.
This includes:
API integrations and API-layer implementations (centralized abstraction layer)
Webhook-based and event-driven architectures
Multi-system data synchronization
Scheduled workflows, batching, and orchestration
Error handling, retries, logging, and monitoring
Idempotent workflows and safe update logic
I’ve implemented API-layer architectures that unify systems like CRMs, databases, and front-end tools into a single, structured interface making systems easier to scale, maintain, and extend.
🧠 Data Engineering & Data Flow Design
I design and manage data pipelines to ensure clean, structured, and reliable data using tools like SQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Excel (advanced), Google Sheets, and Power BI.
This includes:
Data modeling and schema design
ETL / ELT pipeline development
Data cleaning, normalization, and enrichment
Building reporting-ready datasets
Data consistency across distributed systems
Dashboarding and analytics (Power BI, Looker Studio)
The focus is on making data usable, accurate, and decision-ready.
📊 CRM & Lifecycle Systems
I build and optimize CRM systems using platforms like GoHighLevel (GHL), HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho CRM.
This includes:
Pipeline and lifecycle architecture
Lead capture, routing, and qualification logic
Automated follow-ups, sequences, and notifications
Task and activity automation
Data validation, deduplication, and hygiene
CRM integration with automation and reporting systems
The result is a fully automated customer lifecycle system from lead to conversion and retention.
🤖 AI in Automation Systems
I integrate AI into workflows where it provides real operational value using tools like OpenAI APIs, GPT-based systems, and AI integrations enter automation platforms.
Typical implementations:
Data enrichment and structuring
Classification, tagging, and filtering
LLM-based extraction and formatting
Intelligent decision-support inside workflows
AI is implemented as part of systems not as a gimmick to reduce manual work and improve accuracy at scale.
⚙️ Approach
Analyze current systems, workflows, and data flow
Identify inefficiencies, edge cases, and failure points
Design system architecture and automation logic
Build, test, and deploy with reliability in mind
Deliver documentation and ensure long-term maintainability
I focus on building systems that are technically sound, operationally practical, and scalable.
If you need someone who understands APIs, data pipelines, automation systems, CRMs, and operations and can bring them together into one reliable system, I can help.
