Summary

Senior Data Engineer at Climb, a Databricks-native Data and AI consultancy. Before that, the client-facing technical lead at Lovelytics on two to three concurrent Databricks engagements across Entertainment, Finance, Healthcare, and Real Estate. I set the delivery standard engagement teams built inside and the agentic tooling that automates it, and wrote the technical case behind a ~$1.5MM Microsoft and Databricks ECIF proposal.

Experience

Senior Data Engineer · Climb

Sep 2026 – Present

Remote

Lead Data Engineer Consultant · Lovelytics

Oct 2025 – Sep 2026

Charlotte, NC

  • Led two to three concurrent client engagements as the client-facing technical lead, owning architecture decisions, delivery quality, and risk on each. Four in total across Entertainment, Finance, Healthcare, and Real Estate, including a HIPAA-constrained provider platform, across Azure, AWS, and GCP.
  • Entertainment: led a Snowflake-to-Databricks migration onto a medallion architecture, and built the validation framework that became its sign-off gate: 114 automated checks across 678M migrated rows, catching a live source-side load error the source system never surfaced. Then designed the gated, 22-subagent agentic workflow built to carry that standard to the wider estate.
  • Engineered and presented the Databricks proof of concept behind a ~$1.5MM Microsoft and Databricks ECIF proposal in Finance. In Real Estate, owned the code analysis, the ~6,800-hour effort model, and the orchestration proof of concept that converted a five-week assessment into an executed SOW with partner funding approved.
  • Set the Databricks delivery standard the engagement teams built inside, covering workload translation, validation, testing, and deployment. Enforced it through review on every engagement, and built the Model Context Protocol and Claude Agent SDK tooling that automates it.
  • Mentored data engineers and visualization developers across engagement teams of 3–6, providing technical guidance and code review.
