I am a full-stack software engineer based in the Netherlands (open to relocation). I have a strong backend and platform focus, with experience designing, migrating, and operating scalable, data-intensive systems end to end. I am proficient in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience building reusable abstractions, automation tools, and robust validation and testing frameworks for production systems. Previously at Allianz, I contributed to large-scale platform migrations and designed and implemented validation frameworks ensuring full row- and column-level parity for production workloads processing 50M+ records daily. I built metadata-driven automation and AI-assisted tooling, including a multilingual documentation system, with a strong emphasis on correctness, maintainability, and long-term system design. Outside of my professional work, I build and operate products like NeoCru, where my entrepreneurial mindset drives me to take ownership end to end, learn quickly, and turn real problems into practical, user-facing solutions.

Work Experience

Data Engineer at Allianz
February 1, 2025 - Present
Migrated the production data pipeline from script-based logic to dbt models and YAML configurations; programmatically generated ~660 YAML files and 2,000+ SQL models using Python and Snowflake metadata. Built a validation framework using dbt macros and runtime checks, achieving full parity at row- and column-level against production for daily data loads exceeding 50 million rows. Co-designed reusable dbt macros for automated table and view generation, standardizing transformations across schemas. Regularly reported progress and trade-offs to the manager, aligning data engineering work with downstream consumer requirements. Designed and implemented an automated documentation system that extracts and structures raw metadata from multi-format, multi-language source files into table-based documentation across three languages. Supported dbt Cloud operations by building developer-facing macros, managing jobs and executions, and investigating production data quality issues. Enabled local dbt-
Data Engineer Intern at Allianz
February 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025
Proposed and implemented a new data processing architecture that reduced end-to-end pipeline runtime by ~99%, cutting execution time from ~1.5 days to minutes. Rebuilt undocumented Oracle SQL pipelines into dbt models on Snowflake, achieving ≥99.9% data accuracy with ~70% of tables reaching full parity across millions of rows. Simplified the data architecture by removing redundant processing steps, reducing compute costs and maintenance overhead. Built a Power BI dashboard to monitor dbt Cloud runs with hierarchical filtering and enriched metadata for improved operational visibility. Supported production workflows by assisting with dbt Cloud runs and investigating data quality issues.
Founder – NeoCru at NeoCru
April 1, 2025 - December 1, 2025
AI-assisted recruitment platform. Designed and implemented a full-stack backend-driven web platform with Flask, SQLAlchemy, and PostgreSQL, modeling jobs, applications, users, and recruiter workflows. Integrated LLM-based automation (OpenAI API) to generate job descriptions and normalize unstructured candidate inputs into structured data models. Implemented secure authentication, authorization, and session management using Flask-Login, Flask-Session, CSRF protection, and role-based access controls. Deployed and operated the system on Google Cloud Platform using Docker, Cloud Run, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Build, with CI/CD pipelines for fast, reproducible, and controlled releases. Focused on data integrity, validation, and maintainability, ensuring predictable behavior as features and workflows evolved.
Founder – LinkedIn Lead at LinkedIn Lead
January 1, 2024 - December 1, 2024
AI-driven content automation platform. Designed and built an automation platform integrating the LinkedIn API with AI-based text generation services for scheduled content publishing. Implemented background job orchestration and task scheduling for long-running workflows, separating request handling from asynchronous execution. Deployed the platform using containerized services and CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated updates and scalable execution with minimal manual intervention.
