Data Engineer Specializing in Multi-Source Ingestion, Search Infrastructure & AI Valuation Platforms
I am a data engineer specializing in multi-source ingestion, search infrastructure, and AI valuation platforms.
Recent work: Built ingestion backbone for an AI-powered valuation platform processing 5M+ records from 500+ sources.
What I solve:
- Data fragmentation and inconsistent schemas
- Manual data cleanup
- Slow search relevance (keyword + vector implementation)
- Usage-based billing systems
- Price prediction engines
My technical toolkit:
Python, SQL, dbt, Airflow, n8n, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS)
I work best with technical founders and CTOs who need a production-ready data solution—not exploration.
Standard engagement includes:
- Source audit and gap analysis
- Unified schema design
- Pipeline implementation with automated testing
- Data quality monitoring and alerts (via Slack)
- 30 days post-launch support
Projects complete in 2–4 weeks at a fixed price ($5k–$20k).
