I design, build and maintain the infrastructure that moves and models data. Currently a Data Engineer at Digidentity — reliable pipelines, optimized PostgreSQL, and self-hosted platforms that perform predictably under load, without constant manual intervention.
My path into data engineering ran through the commercial side first: 17 years architecting data-driven online marketing and search operations — close to the business, close to the numbers, acutely aware of what data is actually for. The result is infrastructure that's deliberately unexciting: predictable, observable, and quiet.
