What I Do

Keeping ad data flowing.

From building new pipelines to debugging production failures — I own the full data engineering lifecycle in high-stakes advertising environments.

Pipeline Build & Operations
Building new Databricks notebooks, Fivetran connectors, and SSIS packages — and diagnosing failures when production pipelines go down. When data stops flowing, reporting goes dark. I get it back up.
Ad Tech Data Integration
Managing integrations that pull programmatic campaign and impression data from DSP and SSP vendors including The Trade Desk, Xandr, PubMatic, and OpenX. Familiar with the data models, the quirks, and what breaks when vendors change things upstream.
BI & Semantic Modeling
Building and maintaining the Power BI layer business teams actually depend on — SSAS semantic models, DAX measures, dataflows, and datasets delivering campaign, sales, and financial reporting reliably.
