I was a data engineer before data-engineering was cool. Sport statistic nerd who turned analyzing stats into a career. I pivoted from data engineering and data science into full stack development. I have experience across multiple domains—sports, culture, legal, entertainment, journalism, healthcare, art, insurance, hospitality, and fintech. I have a track record of scaling products from 0 to 1 and turning bold ideas into tangible products. You can check out my work at sportbetdata.ai and programITcash.com. Let's talk soon!
