- Developed a data engineering strategy to synthesize data from disparate sources into an analysis ready state.
- Made key improvements to our underlying infrastructure, and laid out the medium term architecture roadmap.

- Experience with integration and tooling software.
- Familiarity with cloud-based computing platforms (ex. AWS, Google Cloud).
- Experience with multiple database management systems.
