About

I'm an operations technician with 5+ years across network and database operations, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, and data-quality engineering, keeping mission-critical systems up to strict uptime and SLA targets, then turning the data into dashboards people can act on. When I'm not watching a NOC queue, you'll find me messing with hardware, tearing down an engine, or scripting away a chore that took less time by hand.

Experience

Network / Database Ops · Petromax LLC

2024-2025 · Washington, DC

Ran network and database infrastructure across multiple facilities in a 24/7 NOC: ~99.9% uptime, hands-on hardware and DB work, and incident response inside SLA. Built monitoring that cut mean-time-to-detect ~30%, plus the dashboards and runbooks the shift leaned on.

Data Analyst · Instawire LLC

2021-2024 · McLean, VA

Federal anti-money-laundering work: combed $2B+ in daily transactions for anomalies and suspicious patterns. Power BI dashboards for triage and clustering logic that improved duplicate-detection accuracy ~23%.

Data Specialist · Mgtwell LLC

2020-2021 · Alexandria, VA

Processed large-scale datasets and built the ETL plus automated cleansing and dedup that kept reporting honest. Learned exactly what bad data looks like up close.

B.S. Data Analytics

In progress

Studying the analytics fundamentals while applying them to real-world systems and challenges.
