Walk me through your current role, previous role, and some of the projects you've been working on.

Currently, I am a Data Engineer at Acme Corp, where I design and maintain ETL pipelines that move data from on‑premise databases to our Snowflake data warehouse. My primary responsibilities include optimizing query performance, ensuring data quality, and collaborating with data scientists to provide clean datasets for modeling. Prior to this, I worked as a Junior Software Engineer at BetaTech, where I developed RESTful APIs in Python and contributed to a microservices architecture. Some key projects include: 1) Building a real‑time inventory tracking system using Kafka and Spark, which reduced stock‑out incidents by 15%; 2) Implementing a data quality framework that automatically flags anomalies and sends alerts to the data team; and 3) Migrating legacy ETL jobs from Airflow to Prefect, improving maintainability and reducing runtime by 20%. These experiences have honed my skills in data engineering, cloud services, and cross‑functional collaboration. I also led a migration of our on‑prem data warehouse to Snowflake, which cut query times by 40% and reduced storage costs.
