⚡ I build data warehouses that run faster and cost less. One client went from a $4,000 monthly bill to $40, with query times dropping from 84 hours to 2. I help SaaS companies, agencies, and data-heavy startups move off slow, expensive setups and onto Snowflake, BigQuery, and dbt pipelines they can actually trust. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝: ▸ Migrated 250 million records from PostgreSQL to Snowflake for a B2B data platform. Monthly cost fell from $4,000 to $40, query time from 84 hours to 2. ▸ Built the dbt and Snowflake pipeline behind an influencer dashboard serving Nike, Under Armour, and New Balance. Adding New Balance lifted annual revenue by $1.8M. ▸ Rebuilt the reporting layer for a coaching platform with 100,000 users, taking dashboard refresh from 4 to 6 hours down to near real time. ▸ Scraped 10,000+ restaurant outlets across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub at over 98% success rate, feeding clean order data into BigQuery. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫: ✔ ETL and ELT pipelines (Python, SQL) ✔ Cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) ✔ Data migration and data modelling ✔ dbt transformations and Airflow orchestration ✔ Data ingestion (Fivetran, API integration) ✔ Web scraping and data extraction at scale (10,000+ sources, 98%+ success) ✔ Cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, S3, Lambda) ✔ Analytics and BI-ready datasets I'm a Google Certified Professional Data Engineer with a master's from Georgia Tech and 8+ years across these stacks.
