ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer I & II • VMware / Broadcom
  • Established the company's single source of truth for entitlement, usage, and telemetry data by building a star-schema data mart that correlates them across ten products at a daily grain.
  • Drove 11x year-over-year growth in data-product usage by integrating dozens of disparate sources into reliable ETL pipelines, serving internal stakeholders and 200+ enterprise customers.
  • Built internal tools and reports for teams that had never shared data (siloed by past mergers); ran sustained user interviews resulting in internal data products with widespread adoption.
  • Led DevOps (Dagster orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes infrastructure) and authored architectural decision records that set wide-ranging data-shape and reliability rules.
  • Built full-coverage integration, end-to-end, and data-quality tests (freshness, conformity) with KPI and uptime reporting.
  • Designed loads to be idempotent and re-runnable, with incremental processing and backfills.
  • Optimized queries by tuning partitioning and clustering, repeatedly cutting scan volume and compute cost by more than half.
