Senior Data Engineer
Cue Health
San Diego, CA
- Led the design and implementation of a custom data pipeline using Go
to extract, store, and transform real-time manufacturing data,
handling 15 million images/month on the order of petabytes per year in
total.
- Developed a custom caching system across goroutines called through Cloud Run to ensure minimal query counts within BigQuery. Reduced image indexing costs by 94% versus a non-cached system.
- Led the data engineering team in implementing a system for collecting, processing, and presenting manufacturing data. This provided the first automated calculation of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) at Cue. It improved new product development, field failure analysis, and manufacturing efficiency.
- Took over as lead software engineer for the internal cartridge application built with TypeScript. Developed changes to implement reporting on multiplex tests for internal teams.
- Designed an improved second iteration on the first data lake architecture for Cue that emphasizes self-service approaches and an analytics engineering focus using Dagster, dbt, BigQuery, and Looker.

Data Engineer
Cue Health
San Diego, CA
- Created a custom server-less data pipeline in Python for streaming billions of rows from noncompliant CSV files into a BigQuery table.
- My first architecture presentation set the standard and was described by the chief architect as “the best and most comprehensive.”
- Lead engineer on migrating the Cue marketing team from the Salesforce Datorama platform to an in-house data lake approach with BigQuery and Looker. Moved 7 marketing connectors over from Datorama to the new architecture.
- Designed and built Cue's first data lake platform using services and
tools such as Fivetran, BigQuery, dbt, and Looker.
- Took the data platform from 2 models to a large DAG of over 1,500 SQL transformation models.
- Created a data lake that could account for GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and SOX requirements.
- Designed the data lake to work across cloud regions (USA, Canada, and Singapore).
