Hi, I’m Duc Duong, a data-focused engineer and analytics leader with 12+ years building scalable data platforms and decision-ready analytics. I specialize in end-to-end data stacks, from data ingestion and modeling to governance, orchestration, and governance, aligning data work with business goals and product needs. I’m passionate about mentoring teams, improving developer experience, and delivering measurable outcomes through robust pipelines and insightful dashboards. When I’m not hands-on with Dagster, Airflow, or SQL, I enjoy sharing best practices, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and exploring new tools to push the boundaries of data engineering, BI, and product intelligence.
