Data Engineering · Business Systems · Enterprise Architecture
A decade of making complex financial systems, payment platforms, and data architectures work together — with a growing focus on data engineering: building the pipelines, warehouses, and reporting platforms that turn fragmented data into decisions.
What I Do
My core focus today. SQL Server, Databricks, PostgreSQL, ETL pipelines, and lakehouse architecture — building the data foundations that turn fragmented sources into trusted, decision-ready intelligence.
Power BI, Tableau, SSRS dashboards and reporting platforms. Transparent, actionable intelligence delivered to leadership where they need it.
Unifying CRMs, payment platforms, portfolio systems, and ERPs into cohesive operations.
Payment processing, banking APIs, processor middleware, settlement and refund orchestration.
Hedge fund operations, portfolio accounting, NAV validation, GIPS compliance, and brokerage integrations.
Cross-functional delivery across engineering, compliance, finance, and product teams.
About
I started at Investor's Business Daily learning that data only matters when it reaches the right person in the right format. That principle guides every system I build.
From there I moved into hedge fund operations at O'Neil Global Advisors, leading GIPS compliance certification, administering portfolio management systems, and designing data flows connecting performance metrics and investor reporting across SQL Server and PostgreSQL.
Today at Viking River Cruises I lead Apple Pay integration, migrate financial reporting from SSRS to Power BI, build Databricks pipelines, and bridge third-party bank processors with internal development teams.
Outside my day role, I am building AI agent systems, local LLM infrastructure, and knowledge architectures for the next era of enterprise operations.
Systems first, tools second
Data you cannot trust is worse than no data
Every integration is a business decision
Reporting only matters if leadership acts on it
Modernize with purpose, not for its own sake
