Hands-on support
Professionally, I’m known for two things:
1. Building data systems people trust
2. Jumping into the tricky stuff, then making it feel straightforward
Over the last decade I’ve worked across ever-changing data stacks, from on‑prem Oracle to modern cloud warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery, with deep hands-on experience in dbt, Airflow, and custom ingestion patterns. I have deliberately curated my skillset with foundational understanding of tools and I’m known for upskilling the people around me.
As a mentor, I’m warm, practical, and adaptable: whether you’re just starting out or well into your career, I’ll meet you where you are. We can dig into dbt best practices, pipeline reliability and observability, and leveling up your SQL (especially the debugging mindset that helps you untangle unfamiliar problems fast). I’m also happy to support career growth with interview prep, role transitions, and building confidence in making technical decisions. You’ll leave sessions with clearer mental models and concrete next steps.
Watch Elize Papineau, Sr. Data Engineer at dbt Labs, explain how to optimize a dbt project running on Snowflake.
