Developer & Data Analyst · Port Arthur, TX
Summary
Developer and data analyst who turns raw data into tools people use every day: a live football stat system used on broadcasts, a 24/7 IT operations dashboard with KPI trends, and an offline-first coaching app. I work end to end, from SQL schemas, data pipelines and reporting to the dashboards and apps on top, mostly in SQL, Python and TypeScript on Supabase and Cloudflare.
