About Me
Raised in Utah Valley, my life balances dynamic interests with professional development. An avid marathon runner, snowboarder, and tech enthusiast, I also enjoy building custom PCs and exploring diverse cuisines.
Professionally, I shifted from a coding hobby to a career in 2020, focusing on practical solutions in DevOps, testing, and deployment efficiency. My work in Big Data Pipelines and data warehouse solutions has sharpened my data management skills. I'm dedicated to solving complex problems in data science and analytics.
