I'm a senior data engineer for a major clothing company in Denver. I work in Microsoft Azure primarily using Databricks, Data Factory and Snowflake. 

Senior Data Engineer

At AdviNow I developed a back end framework for an image recognition AI system that helps diagnose conditions in patients. 

I also contributed heavily to an API that connected our database to online electronic health record databases.

Senior Python Programmer

Klickly is an impulse-payments solution for in-advertising experiences. Publishers, brands, agencies, and influencers use Klickly’s proprietary buy button technology to hyper-charge and commerce-enable their marketing messages. 

For Klickly I've built a flexible and robust internal reporting dashboard from scratch. My back-end consumes a variety of data from multiple APIs. It consists of a Django API hosted on AWS Beanstalk, and separately uses AWS Lambda functions triggered by CloudWatch to consume other API data. The front-end is a data visualization tool, Metabase, used to access data and display that data in useful business relevant "stories" via consumable charts in relevant business dashboards that I've designed. The charts are the visualization derived from complex SQL queries on my Postgres database. I also often implement the use of Python libraries (NumPy and Pandas) in Jupyter notebooks to manipulate data in order to clean the data, and run scripts to create automated reports and prepare data for machine learning algorithms. 

Full Stack BI Developer

CSS is a consultancy in hospital supply chain. My role as a data analyst consists of new system integration with a focus on databases, data scrubbing primarily using Python in jupyter notebooks and excel. 

Data Analyst

As an Instructional Assistant for the Web Development Bootcamp at UCLA Extension, I spend time helping students with their class assignments, offer instructors support during lessons, and help focus discussions during lessons. Being an Instructional Assistant allows me to learn more about the ever- changing tech field, play with code, and most importantly, share the skills that I already have with fledgling developers. 

Instructional Assistant

As a Teaching Assistant for the Web Development Immersive program at General Assembly, I spend time helping students with their post-class assignments, as well as during their "Project Weeks" 

Teacher Assistant

Contracted to Twilio Ltd. for the position of HR Systems Manager while also responsible for configuring the multiple SuccessFactors (SFSF) modules (primarily Employee Central HRMS) during an extreme growth stage of the tech start up. Responsible for data integrity of systems I worked with other independent consultants on the integration of SFSF and ADP in order to completely automate the new hire process from on-boarding to payroll including benefits. I was also responsible for developing and maintaining system user procedures, guidelines, and documentation of all records administration processes. Including implementation of a ticket based project management. I would usually start the process with requirements gathering – meeting with all levels of management to determine the client’s needs. 

Systems Analyst

I prefer Django over all other frameworks for the out of the box functionality including authentication, ORM, and templating.

Pandas (and Jupyter Notebooks) are a great combination of tools to manage nearly any data analytic need you might have. I've found it incredibly flexible and easy to manage and manipulate data especially coming from strictly using Microsoft Excel as an alternative. 

I prefer to use AWS when hosting projects due to the prevelence and flexibility of their services. No one will fire you for using AWS.
