ABOUT

Hi, I’m Josi — a Principal Data Engineer with over 8 years of experience turning messy data into meaningful solutions. From writing my first SQL query as a data wrangler to designing large-scale pipelines in the cloud, I’ve always been passionate about building systems that just work. These days, I focus on crafting data architectures that are efficient, scalable, and just the right amount of elegant. Whether it’s batch, streaming, or something in between, I love solving the kind of problems that make dashboards light up and stakeholders smile.

Outside the day job, I enjoy creating simple, purposeful websites like this one, sharing what I’ve learned through writing, and exploring ways to be more productive in everything I do. I believe in continuous improvement — not just in code, but in life. If you’re into clean data, clean code, or just want to swap ideas, feel free to reach out. Thanks for stopping by!
