Senior Data Engineer · Team Lead · Orlando, FL
After hours I build trading bots, sentiment pipelines, and whatever else seems interesting.
Beyond building systems, I lead a team of 3 engineers at a Fortune 500 financial services firm as a Senior Data Engineer and Team Lead. I own our team's architecture decisions, run PI Planning and sprint ceremonies, and mentor engineers through personalized development goals. I've driven projects including a hard-deadline M&A data integration and a full Informatica-to-AWS ETL migration.
Autonomous trading bot for Kalshi prediction markets. Built it because I can't open a brokerage account due to compliance restrictions at work — so I found a workaround. Turns out last-second convergence trades are more consistent than they have any right to be.
Standalone real-time sentiment pipeline tracking entities across news and social feeds. Runs a local LLM so nothing touches an external API — headline to signal in under a second. Originally built independently; the Florin integration came later and turned out to be a natural fit.
Formal AWS engagement automating regulatory document analysis. Six parallel agents on AWS Agent Core and Amazon Strands ingest, extract, and summarize EBA financial documents — replacing weeks of manual analyst work with an automated pipeline.
Selenium + headless Chromium scraper targeting Refinitiv's web portal. Extracted hundreds of financial data dictionary tables as structured CSV. No public API existed — built the scraper instead. Became a reusable internal reference.
Migrated 200 Informatica workflows to AWS Glue + Airflow over approximately one year. Designed a YAML-driven architecture with Apache Iceberg and Parquet-backed S3 output. One of those projects that's never glamorous until you're in dark production and it quietly works.
Replaced a multi-day manual data model mapping process with an LLM-driven workflow that runs in minutes. Claude Opus does the heavy lifting. Built internally at a Fortune 500 financial services firm.
Let's talk data, trading systems, or whatever you're building.
