About
Hey. I’m Matt. I’m an engineer who likes to plumb data and I’ve spent over 9 years doing it professionally1.
My career path has been one of continually shifting left:
→ From reporting roles in finance2
→ to analytics engineering using dbt in various cloud data warehouses
→ to platform work and getting more involved with cloud infrastructure.
A constant during this time? Real passion for doing work that indexes on impact and simplicity. Implementing data pipelines, optimizing query performance, and setting up greenfield data infrastructure are some of my favorite things to do.
