I've been writing code to solve problems for about 15 years, mostly with Python but more recently with Scala and Java. I loving seeing the products, features, and fixes I've built go live and meet customer needs. My experience with Spark, Hive, and MapReduce make me comfortable working with data of any size. Overall, I specialize in building and maintaining ETL pipelines in Hadoop ecosystems, with a focus on tracking and improving data quality.
I enjoy tinkering with technology; digging into open-ended, data-driven questions; collaborating with awesome people; rooting for the Clippers, Steelers, and Mountaineers; board games; and traveling. I've also recently gotten into running, with one full & five half marathons and under my belt so far, plus more to come.
