Experience
Professional Journey Link to heading
I am a Data Engineering professional with 11+ years of expertise across Data Engineering, BI Architecture, and Predictive Modeling. Currently, I am looking to pivot my career into Data Science, where I can apply my extensive background in data architecture and infrastructure to build scalable, high-impact machine learning solutions.
My tenure at Verizon has been a steady evolution from technical execution to strategic leadership. I began in Network Systems Engineering—focusing on ETL and BI development—before moving into a lead role for the Network Systems Financial Dashboard initiative. Most recently, I transitioned into platform management, overseeing the governance and reliability of Network Systems’s Tableau and Looker ecosystems.
My “sweet spot” exists at the intersection of robust data architecture and actionable insights. Whether it’s integrating disparate data sources into a single source of truth or securing complex table structures via dynamic governance, my focus is always on architecting an ecosystem of dashboards and reports that empower stakeholders to drive the business forward.
Having recently completed my Master’s in Computer Science (2024), along with specialized certifications in Data Science from Harvard (2019) and Business Intelligence from Stevens Institute of Technology (2024), I am now focused on bridging the gap between engineering and data science. I am eager to apply my skills in machine learning, predictive modeling, and deep-dive analytics to solve large-scale, complex data challenges.
