Summary

AI Data Engineer (freelance, since June 2026) owning Snowflake data platforms end to end: Airflow ingestion across 9 enterprise source systems moving 2M+ records/day at 99.9% uptime, a 350+ model dbt backbone, and AWS Bedrock LLM services on top — document intelligence at 97% field accuracy, entity resolution, and a RAG copilot on the semantic layer. Previously Data Engineer, Full-Stack Software Engineer and Quant at Float Infinity (Sydney): Airflow-orchestrated Azure ELT, an ASX options analytics platform (FastAPI + Next.js), and NLP/ML trading models at 72% directional accuracy and a 1.8 backtested Sharpe. Shipped 40+ client websites and web apps as a freelance full-stack developer (2022–2026). Dean's Lister at DLSU-D (3.83 GPA), ICAI 2026 presenter, and building Nexus, an institutional alpha & risk system. Open to AI and data engineering, full-stack software, quant, and ML roles.

Experience

AI Data Engineer

Jun 2026 – Present

Freelance · Remote

  • Built AWS Bedrock LLM services over the warehouse: document intelligence parsing loan files, appraisals and financials at 97% field accuracy, a confidence-scored entity-resolution matcher reconciling hundreds of properties against a 14K-row regulatory registry, and a RAG copilot on the Snowflake semantic layer, cutting manual entry 80%.
  • Architected and own the Airflow DAG ingestion layer across 9 enterprise source systems, including Hypha, NetSuite and iLevel, merging into tiered Snowflake raw schemas with source and load-timestamp lineage columns and moving 2M+ records/day at 99.9% uptime behind keyset-paged loaders and loud-failure schema-drift guards.
  • Engineered a multi-layer dbt transformation backbone on Snowflake (staging, intermediate, export and mart layers, 350+ models), standardizing 120+ tables behind reusable data-quality and performance-metric test macros and a severity-tagged validation catalogue, cutting model build and QC time 60% and warehouse compute spend 35%.
  • Delivered the finance and accounting pipelines the business runs on, rebuilding a portfolio valuation model to a 99.7% identity match against the reporting tape, shipping general-ledger ingestion with automated reconciliation checks, and automating an underwriting-to-asset-system sync with read-compare-write logic that never overwrites a human entry.

Float Infinity · Sydney, AU

  • Architected an automated Azure telemetry and reporting platform ingesting real-time signals from Azure Resources, Policy, Patching, and Backup through REST API pipelines orchestrated on Airflow DAGs, cutting incident detection time by 50%, slashing reporting overhead by 70-80%, and sustaining 99.9% availability.
  • Engineered production ELT on Azure, pairing Python/SQLAlchemy ingestion with modular, version-controlled dbt models using incremental materialization and unique-key deduplication, orchestrated end-to-end by Airflow DAGs across 4+ enterprise platforms, cutting data redundancy by 65%, tripling query performance, and lifting cloud governance visibility by 80%+.
  • Built an ASX options trading analytics platform end to end: engineered a provider-agnostic market data ingestion service (Python, FastAPI) pulling OHLCV price history into PostgreSQL via idempotent upserts and watchlist sync, exposed through an authenticated REST API, and built the Next.js/React frontend stock list/detail pages with candlestick charting and watchlist management using optimistic UI updates backed by an integration test suite against a live PostgreSQL database and CI.
  • Developed an end-to-end NLP/ML quantitative trading algorithm across 15+ instruments, training sentiment and macro-regime models on real-time market sentiment, macroeconomic indicators, institutional positioning flows, and options data. Engineered 50+ features across technical momentum, sentiment, and macroeconomic layers for 72% directional accuracy and a backtested Sharpe Ratio of 1.8.
