Recent Experience
Data Architect, August 2015 - Present
My role at Equifax is a client-facing data architect for ACAMP. ACAMP is Equifax's employer compliance tool for the Affordable Care ACT. I work daily with SQL and a proprietary ETL engine in order to get the clients data to a point where we can calculate eligible employees and compliance levels.
Enterprise Systems Analyst, Jan 2014 - Mar 2015
While at Gables I was responsible for creating tools to help various departments. IT needed reporting and monitoring apps for server hardware. Marketing needed an application that could ingest lead data from online providers and flatten out lead path timelines for prospective tenants. Asset management needed an app that compared rent levels of comparable properties for existing communities and future constructions.
RoR Consultant, Aug 2013 - Jan 2014
Primary responsibility at HighPoint was cloud deployment of Ruby on Rails applications. Our go-to host was Heroku and I made all of the configuration changes to apps that need migration.
Skills (not exhaustive)
Ruby
SQL
Plenty of experience with SQL for analysis and transformations. Using SQL on a daily basis to transform client data and trouble shoot issues.
Powershell
Powershell is my preferred scripting language in a windows environment. Proficient at automating tasks and leveraging its omnipotence over the various Microsoft tools to streamline processes.
RDS
Have used SQLite3, Postgres, MYSQL, Microsoft SQL Server in a professional capacity. Usually stick to Postgres for personal projects, but have been playing around with MYSQL and Google sheets backend.
Learning
Pretty cliché, but I believe my most valuable attribute on teams I have been a part of has been my willingness and ability to quickly fill skill gaps by acquiring new technologies.

Currently pursuing the 3 associate certifications for developer, sys ops, and solutions architect. Have a few projects hosted on AWS. Still transitioning from Digital Ocean and Linode.
