Senior Data Engineer

Summary

Senior Software & Data Engineer | Ex-Founder | AI-Augmented Architect
Professional Philosophy I am a Senior Technical Leader with over 15 years of experience architecting resilient data platforms within the high-stakes Health tech and Fintech sectors. My current focus is centered on transitioning engineering cultures from reactive firefighting to proactive observability and long-term technical maturity.
Major Achievements & Impact
Cost & Performance Engineering: At a leading Health tech firm, I re-engineered core patient-data pipelines to reduce cloud compute costs by 67% and slashed processing time by 93%.
Infrastructure Ownership: Managed the end-to-end migration of over 120 data pipelines from legacy systems to a modern Python/Airflow stack, automating 80% of production ingestion flows as the sole engineer on the project.
Large-Scale Data Integrity: Spearheaded a comprehensive recovery and cleanup initiative for a dataset of over 3 billion records, rectifying deep-seated inconsistencies to achieve near-complete accuracy.
The AI-Augmented Edge I leverage advanced AI-augmented workflows to act as a force multiplier for my teams. This approach has driven a personal 4x increase in engineering throughput, allowing for rapid onboarding to complex codebases, high-velocity code reviews, and the ability to mentor junior developers in building safer, faster PR-driven loops.
Ideal Alignment I thrive in lean, high-impact environments where I can act as a Technical Owner. Having previously served as a CEO and Founder, I bring a unique business-first perspective to architecture, ensuring that technical roadmaps are both sound and commercially viable.

Expectations

I am seeking a Senior or Principal role where I can transition engineering teams from reactive firefighting to proactive observability. My ideal position involves building high-integrity data products and scalable architectures, drawing on my experience re-engineering pipelines to reduce compute costs by 67% and processing time by 93%. I thrive in environments that embrace AI-augmented workflows, where I can act as a force multiplier by leveraging my 4x throughput increase to mentor junior developers through safer, faster development loops. I am looking for a remote-first startup culture that values high autonomy and "deep work" but supports regular in-person collaboration in NYC. Ultimately, I want a role with an "owner" mindset where a balanced compensation of equity and cash aligns my technical impact with the companys long-term growth
