About Me

about me image

I am currently a Data Engineer at USAA performing ELT with modern tools and programming. I work alongside some amazing people and also work closely with the Business to ensure we are delivering the correct and expected data. I graduated in May of 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the Fultun School of Engineering at Arizona State University.

I consider my skill set to be rather well-rounded. I try to consistently be learning new tools and skills in the world of IT. I have built several full-stack applications which have allowed me to gain an incredible amount of knowledge across the board.

Whenever I’m not on my computer, I enjoy playing sports, snowboarding, hanging out with friends, and walking my dog.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Python
  • Golang
  • C++
  • React
  • Docker
  • Java
  • Linux
  • Git
  • Postgresql
  • Snowflake
