Innovating at the Intersection of Data, AI, and Automation
With 7+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics, and AI-driven solutions, I specialize in transforming complex data into actionable insights. My expertise spans SQL, Python, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Snowflake), and BI tools (Tableau, Power BI) to build scalable, high-performance data architectures.
As the Founder of Gov-ConData, I develop AI-powered automation and data solutions that help businesses identify, propose, and win government contracts. By integrating machine learning, NLP, and intelligent workflows, I streamline decision-making and unlock hidden opportunities.
About Me
I am a data engineer and analytics expert with a strong foundation in data modeling, ETL automation, real-time analytics, and governance. My expertise in SQL extends to query optimization, performance tuning, and building complex relational data structures that support high-volume data processing. I also specialize in Python-based data engineering, leveraging libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and SQLAlchemy to automate and scale data workflows.
Beyond traditional analytics, I leverage advanced AI methodologies, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuned LLMs, and predictive modeling, to drive data accessibility, automation, and intelligent decision-making. My expertise in DevOps-driven workflows and cloud-native architectures ensures seamless deployment of scalable, production-ready solutions.
As the Founder of Gov-ConData, I focus on leveraging AI, machine learning, and workflow automation to revolutionize how businesses engage with government contracting—making the process faster, smarter, and more strategic.
I hold a B.S. in Finance from Portland State University and certifications in Azure, Snowflake, and AWS, reflecting my commitment to staying ahead in the evolving data and AI landscape.
Let's build the future of data, automation, and AI-driven insights—one breakthrough at a time.
