Experience
Data Engineer
May 2025 — Present · US
At US Foods, I worked as a Senior Data Engineer, building scalable and real-time data platforms to drive supply chain, procurement, and finance analytics. I architected Snowflake warehouse layers with dbt, enabling governed and reusable datasets, while implementing incremental refresh strategies, SCD2 handling, and macros to optimize performance.I developed real-time ingestion pipelines using AWS S3, Snowpipe, Lambda, Glue, and Fivetran, reducing manual ETL and ensuring near real-time data availability. On the analytics side, I delivered Power BI, Tableau, and Alteryx dashboards and semantic models, accelerating reporting by 40% and reducing data prep by 60%.Alongside performance tuning, I enforced data quality, security, and governance frameworks, embedding dbt_expectations, lineage tracking, and role-based access policies. My work enabled faster decision-making, operational efficiency, and positioned the organization with a future-ready data infrastructure supporting predictive analytics and GenAI-driven insights.
