Before the pandemic hit, I was working as an implementation manager. This entailed getting new clients’ data integrated into our system. I would use small Python and SQL scripts to get the customers’ third party data integrated into Redshift.

Here is a little information about me. I am originally from Philly and I watch every Flyers and Eagles game. I attended the Eagles Super Bowl parade in 2018 and partied for a whole week with my cousins. I currently live in small town in the San Francisco Bay Area called Sunol. I hike around the neighborhood everyday feeding the goats, horses, alpacas, donkeys, chickens, and dogs. I live with with my beautiful wife Nadija and we have small handicapped dog named Allie. It’s a great life we have out here.
