Got a data problem? Whether it's a messy spreadsheet, a slow SQL Server, or a reporting environment that nobody trusts — I can fix it.
I'm a Senior Data & Business Intelligence specialist with over 20 years of hands-on experience across enterprise environments in financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and scientific industries. Excel has been at the center of my work from day one — and so has SQL Server, Power BI, SSRS, SSIS, and Azure.
Here's what I can help you with:
• Clean and organize messy data removing duplicates, standardizing formats, fixing errors (Excel or SQL)
• Build Pivot Tables, Power Query automations, and Excel dashboards your team will actually use
• Advanced Excel formulas — XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, dynamic arrays, conditional logic
• Design and build Power BI dashboards and reports with real, actionable insight
• Architect or optimize your SQL Server database — stored procedures, indexing, performance tuning
• Build ETL pipelines with SSIS or Azure Data Factory to move and transform data reliably
• Set up or improve your SSRS reporting environment, including security and report development
• Migrate legacy data (FoxPro, Access, older SQL Server) to modern SQL Server or Azure SQL
• Design data models and data marts that make reporting fast and accurate
In my career I've built terabyte-scale data marts at Wells Fargo, replaced entire Excel-based reporting systems with SSRS and Tableau at Eurofins Scientific, managed 13 SQL Server instances at Bridgestone/Firestone, and administered Power BI and SSRS environments in healthcare. I've been the go-to person for complex data challenges — the one colleagues and management called when the spreadsheet broke or the reports stopped making sense.
Currently, I'm building a pro bono analytics platform for a 45-bed recovery residence — a full stack engagement from SQL Server star schema design and Python ETL through a 14-page Power BI dashboard, deployed to Azure SQL Database. It's the kind of project that shows what Business Intelligence can do for organizations that need it most.
I hold a Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification, Microsoft certifications in SQL Server and Azure Data Fundamentals, and a Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate.
I work cleanly, communicate clearly, and deliver on time. Tell me what you're working with and let's get it sorted.

I build route optimization and dispatch systems for companies that send crews and vehicles to customer locations. Twenty-four years of full-stack engineering behind that — React, Node, Java, and AWS.
Most recent project: route optimization for a regional manufacturer running installation crews across a multi-state territory. Their dispatcher planned every route by hand each morning. I replaced that with automated route generation on Google Cloud Fleet Routing — dynamic truck and installer assignment pulled from their existing scheduling data, proximity-based job grouping backed by spatial indexing in MySQL 8, capacity and time-window constraints, and a dispatcher interface that allows manual override and re-optimization around locked routes. Installation cancellations dropped substantially.
That's the kind of problem I like: a process that technically works but costs someone an hour every morning and quietly loses money.
What I build
Route optimization and dispatch scheduling — Google Maps Platform, Cloud Fleet Routing, OR-Tools
Full-stack web applications — React and TypeScript on the front, Java, Node, or PHP behind it
Legacy modernization — recently migrated a production application from Adobe ColdFusion 11 to Lucee 7 on AWS end to end, including the database move to MySQL 8 and zero-downtime deployments
API and system integration — third-party services, payment processing, and internal systems that were never designed to talk to each other
Database work — SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, including geospatial queries and performance tuning
Background
Currently a senior engineer at an enterprise data platform company working in React, TypeScript, Java, and PostgreSQL. Before that, twelve years of client-facing consulting — running a custom application practice and building SaaS platforms for the CDC and state health departments. I've also taught full-stack development, which mostly made me better at explaining technical tradeoffs to people who don't write code.
Available 20-30 hours per week. I prefer steady engagements over one-off projects.
Message me with what you're trying to solve and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.

I build and secure cloud, AI, and DevSecOps platforms, most of it delivered in government cloud rather than commercial.
23 years in engineering and architecture across federal, financial services, geospatial, and manufacturing environments. Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph and an active FDIC Public Trust. I am a hands-on architect: I write the Terraform, the Python, and the pipelines, and I still own the design.
What I deliver:
Cloud security architecture. Azure and AWS landing zones, Entra ID, managed identities and workload identity federation, custom RBAC, Private Link and private endpoints, Key Vault and secrets handling, Azure Policy at management-group scope, Defender and Sentinel.
DevSecOps and compliance engineering. Secure CI/CD with Terraform, Docker and Kubernetes; Policy as Code; automated evidence collection for accreditation and audit. On the FDIC ISS program I built compliance automation across more than 60 Azure subscriptions and reduced full-day control investigations to under 60 seconds.
Government cloud. Azure Government and GCC, including commercial-to-GCC migration and the security, authentication and service-availability constraints that come with it. This is the part most consultants have never actually done.
AI and agent platforms. Production AI systems across OpenAI, Claude and Azure services; RAG, MCP and agent tool-calling; AI governance controls covering model access, data classification and audit logging. Also Copilot rollout and workflow automation where a team needs adoption rather than infrastructure.
Data and ML engineering. AWS microservices and ETL pipelines processing petabytes of imagery and geospatial data from dozens of sources; PyTorch and TensorFlow computer vision models delivered for NGA and IARPA programs.
How I work: clear scope, clear deliverables, no surprise invoices. Tell me what you are trying to accomplish and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
