Building
data. Building people.

I engineer scalable data systems, build products for the communities I belong to, and prepare the next generation of data professionals — with a focus on who gets a seat at the table.

About

More than
pipelines.

Software and data engineer with 10+ years designing and scaling distributed data platforms. At Dropbox, I led architecture of a Snowflake-based financial warehouse and governance framework — reducing data-issue detection time by 80%.

I also teach. At CodePath, I bring data structures and algorithms to diverse undergraduate students. I created courses for DataCamp reaching tens of thousands of learners worldwide, and I've conducted hundreds of technical interviews through Karat and companies that I've worked at.

And I build. I'm creating tools that serve communities I belong to — starting with the outdoor space. The longer-term vision is a consulting and training practice that helps organizations work better with data, and helps more people get into it.
