I work on the backend and data side: pipelines, integrations and the internal tools people run their day on. At Value Windows & Doors I helped design a Databricks + dbt data platform and built part of it, along with the pipelines and portals around it.
I work on the backend and data side: pipelines, integrations and the internal tools people run their day on.
Since January 2024 I've been at Value Windows & Doors. There I helped design a data platform on Databricks + dbt, layered Bronze→Silver→Gold→Mart, and built part of it. It turns raw ERP data into models that the manufacturing, inventory, sales and workforce reports read directly. I also write data-migration and integration pipelines in C# and Python, and build Power BI dashboards and React internal portals.
Before that I interned at APEXUS-TECH, writing Python + MySQL services that ingested financial-market data, and ETL pipelines. During my M.S. in Analytics at Northeastern University I was a tutor for the data warehousing and SQL course (ALY6030).
This site is my public workspace: engineering notes, integration patterns, and small experiments in the Playground.
