About

I'm a data engineer based in Texas. I build data platforms, deploy data pipelines, and architect cloud infrastructure. My focus is on systems that are reliable, maintainable, and actually solve business problems.

I didn't start in tech. I studied finance at UNT, worked at a brokerage, then moved into banking operations. That work gave me a front-row seat to how data flows (or doesn't) through organizations—and I kept finding myself more interested in building the systems than using them.

So I went back to school. Finished my MS in Advanced Data Analytics in May 2025. After graduating, I joined a genomics startup as a data engineer where I built production data infrastructure processing multi-modal biomedical data.

That experience shaped how I think about engineering: infrastructure as a product, observability as a requirement, documentation as a deliverable. I presented architecture decisions to executives and learned that the technical solution is only half the job—you have to be able to explain why it matters.
