    Senior data/platform engineer, around 5 years of experience. I build data systems where the output has to be trusted. Recent work includes validation frameworks for EU regulatory reporting at ESMA, Spark/Databricks pipelines for logistics use cases for SHV Energy, ESG reporting for KPMG, healthcare migration/data quality work around openEHR, and BigQuery/Airflow pipelines for logistics analytics.

    I’m strongest in messy-source-data problems: ETL/ELT, data quality, warehouse/lakehouse modeling, pipeline reliability, cloud data platforms, and making analytical systems debuggable by people who were not there when they were built.

    Looking for: data engineering, data platform, backend/data infrastructure, analytics engineering with real engineering depth, machine learning/data-heavy DS roles, ML/LLM infrastructure, or small technical teams building data products.

    Available immediately.
