About
At Nova Data, I built and ran a containerized retail data platform, moving data from a NoSQL source through Kafka to ClickHouse, with PII encryption before loading.
I also set up Grafana dashboards and Telegram alerts for data quality failures, and built a PySpark data mart with 30 behavioral features for export to MinIO.
On City Pulse NYC, I'm developing a real-time mobility data platform. I wrote reusable Terraform modules for BigQuery datasets and built a GitHub Actions pipeline with tests, secret scanning, and infrastructure validation as merge gates.
Before engineering, I worked as a Product Designer and Project Manager across SaaS, mobile, e-commerce, and startup projects. That experience shapes my interest in internal developer platforms and tooling that reduces cognitive load for developers.
