I specialize in supporting US-based clients with exceptional data engineering, data architecture and advanced analytics solutions. I’m the leader of a team of 10 hand-picked Canadian data scientists and data engineers. When you work with me, you work with an industry-leading team of native-English experts. Together, we create outcomes impossible to do individually. The main outcomes I consistently create with my clients are enabling them to make higher-quality business decisions with reliable data, all while reducing manual work and leveraging automation for their entire team. I offer end-to-end solutions. I take responsibility for every step of your data journey. This includes building automated data pipelines that pull information directly from systems like your CRM, ERP, and financial platforms. Your data can then be centralized in a cloud-based data warehouse, creating a single reliable source of data serving as a stable foundation for analysis and reporting. From there, we can work together to determine what matters for your business to track with earnestly helpful reporting dashboards. Your KPI’s and the data you need to make meaningful decisions are communicated clearly in accessible reporting that you and your team will actually use. — One example of a recent successful data engineering project was: Data ingestion and analytics with an American IT security company. Ingesting data from Salesforce (Opps, Leads, Contacts, Campaigns etc.) into Snowflake using Fivetran. Building a metadata layer in Looker using LookML code, and creating dashboards to track key metrics such as ARR and MRR. Overseeing the rollout of dbt, a data transformation platform, used as an intermediary data transformation step between Snowflake and Looker. — Data sources I often work with include: 🔷 CRM & Sales Systems - Salesforce - HubSpot - Proprietary CRM Systems 🔷 Marketing & Analytics Platforms - Google Analytics - Google Tag Manager - Facebook Ads - Marketing Attribution Platforms 🔷 Financial & Payment Systems - Stripe - QuickBooks - ERP Systems - Financial Reporting Tools 🔷 Product & Application Data - Web Apps - Internal Databases - Event Tracking Systems - Custom Application Data 🔷 Cloud & Data Infrastructure - Google BigQuery - Snowflake - Azure-Hosted Data Environments 🔷 Custom & API Integrations - REST APIs - Webhook-Based Systems - Custom Data Pipelines From Internal Tools — Data architect and data engineering services I commonly support my clients with includes: 🔸 Specialties: Snowflake - dbt - Microsoft Power BI - Tableau - Looker Studio 🔸 Data Modeling - Data Architecture - Data Engineering 🔸 Reporting - Custom Dashboards - Data Visualization 🔸 Data Warehouse Projects - Data Migrations - Data Transformation - Data Ingestion 🔸 Business Intelligence Projects 🔸 Microsoft Azure - Azure Hosted Data - Azure Hosted Analytics 🔸 Data Engineering Projects 🔸 Automated Testing 🔸 Fivetran - Data Integration Platform Projects 🔸 Airbyte Data Monitoring Tool - Custom Connections Built With: QuickBooks - Microsoft Dynamics - Leadspedia - Everflow - Proprietary CRM systems 🔸 Custom Python Scripts - Custom SQL 🔸 LookML - Amazon Quicksight - Holistics BI - Lightdash - Google BigQuery - Sigma Computing 📞 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.
