About Jonathan K.

Data professional with experience in a variety of industries and tech stacks, I\'m at my best when I\'m working on challenging problems with a vibrant and diverse team of curious folks. Currently specialized in implementing data warehouses from source to finished product, understanding core KPIs and metrics, and delivering wide datasets with critical dimensions. I enjoy using a combination of open source technologies (dbt, python, SQL, etc.) with useful SaaS products (GCP, AWS, Azure, Fivetran, Hevo, Stitch.) to create an end-to-end data warehouse.
