Data engineering
End-to-end data flows — collection, cleaning, transformation, and structured delivery for analytics and downstream products, including reports built on top of that data.

Data Engineer & Backend Developer
Reliable data systems and backend services — built for production.
Systems that move data and serve products.
I work at the intersection of data engineering and backend development: shaping how information is collected, transformed, stored, and served. Day to day that means Python and SQL pipelines, API and service design on Node.js, and AWS-backed infrastructure for auth, events, storage, and analytics. Much of my production work sits under client confidentiality — so this site focuses on the tools I build with and the practices I follow.
