Work Experience
Cloud Software Engineer
- Architected AWS data infrastructure handling 2TB+ daily data flows across multiple services for the center's AI initiatives, reducing deployment times by 35%.
- Built a civic data lake on AWS (medallion Bronze → Silver → Gold): ~62 TB of raw data into 35 typed Silver datasets and 9 county-level Gold marts, plus AI-driven ETL and data-discovery tools (Python, OpenAI GPT-4o, Streamlit) with a natural-language agent interface.
- Engineered agentic AI research pipelines (Anthropic Claude Agent SDK, multi-LLM deep research) that generate cited reports on funders and nonprofits across hundreds of web sources, accelerating grant-seeking evaluation.
- Built data-quality controls for the lake: source-to-Silver reconciliation verified 99.98% cell-level accuracy across 29M+ cells from 9 sources, and an automated drift monitor tracks 44 tables for row-count and null-rate anomalies, alerting via Telegram.
- Built dashboards in QuickSight, Power BI, and ArcGIS adopted by 15+ departments, improving data accessibility by 60%.
