dbt + Snowflake Data Engineer | AWS Bedrock RAG & ML Pipelines

I design and build data infrastructure end to end. My core stack is dbt, Azure (Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks), and Python, with strong experience on AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock) as well. Day to day I'm a data engineer at a large national nonprofit where I own everything from ELT pipelines and dbt transformations to production ML models built on CatBoost and XGBoost. I build the pipelines, train the models, monitor the outputs, and fix things when they break. What I can help you build: dbt project setup and data modeling from scratch, migrating legacy SQL into dbt, building and optimizing Azure Data Factory or Synapse pipelines, deploying ML models into production workflows, Python scripting and automation, Power BI dashboards, and Snowflake implementations. I communicate clearly, I scope work honestly, and I deliver on time.
