about
CS graduate (WGU, May 2026) based in the Milwaukee area. Looking for a junior data engineering role — Milwaukee area preferred, open to remote. Current focus is on pipeline infrastructure: ingestion, transformation, and serving layers that are reliable and maintainable rather than impressive once.

I work at Kwik Trip, which is why a kitchen production forecasting system was a natural problem to model.
