Data & Analytics Engineer · Open to Work
I design and run production data pipelines, from API ingestion to the boardroom. Currently building the financial data infrastructure for an LA nonprofit.
I've always been fascinated by information and the ways systems are interconnected, how small changes can ripple outward, and how the right insight at the right moment can shift the trajectory of an organization. That curiosity led me to study Business Administration at the University of California, Irvine, where I came to see data as the language that underpins how businesses operate.
Since then, I've focused on becoming fluent in that language, building the data infrastructure and pipelines that keep it flowing — from ETL processes to automated reporting systems — complemented by the storytelling and executive-level presentations that translate complex information into clear, actionable decisions. Along the way, I've developed strong skills in public speaking and visual communication, crafting presentations that are both analytical and compelling.
Today, I work at the intersection of data engineering and business intelligence, building systems that provide organizations with real-time visibility into their operations. I am currently designing and deploying an automated financial reporting pipeline for a mid-sized nonprofit in Los Angeles. This system integrates multiple payment platforms into a centralized database, supported by a live dashboard and budget alert engine delivered directly to board leadership.
My skill set allows me to solve complex data challenges end-to-end, from building the pipeline to communicating insights in the boardroom. I believe that organizations equipped with the right information are positioned to make the greatest impact.
