About Me

I'm a jack-of-all-trades technologist based in Arizona with deep roots in big data, database administration, and full-stack development.

I specialize in designing and managing data platforms that process hundreds of millions of records, building automation pipelines that eliminate manual work, and developing web applications that make complex data accessible.

My day-to-day spans PySpark ETL jobs on Kubernetes, SQL Server and Hive warehouse optimization, Flask/FastAPI microservices, and infrastructure management across on-prem and cloud environments.
