Profile
Hey there! 👋 I‘m a data engineering leader who loves turning complex problems into elegant solutions. With over a decade of experience in software development and team leadership, I‘ve found my sweet spot in building scalable systems and nurturing talented teams.
As an Enneagram Type Nine with a One-Wing, I bring a unique blend of harmony-seeking and perfectionist tendencies to the table. This means Im not just about writing clean code – I‘m about creating environments where teams can thrive and innovate. I believe in the power of trust, clear communication, and continuous improvement to transform underperforming processes into well-oiled machines.
