👋🏽 Hi, I’m Jafree
From an early curiosity about how numbers drive real-world decisions, I grew into a career in data engineering, analytics engineering, and data analysis, specializing in transforming raw data into clear, actionable insights that deliver measurable business results.
I have developed a wide range of technical and analytical skills from my work at Kargo, Twitter, and in academic projects. Over the years, I’ve built scalable ETL pipelines, designed data models, created automated reporting systems, and delivered data visualizations that enable executives and teams to optimize performance. At Kargo, I led a two-month migration to a new ad viewability platform, saving $400K annually, and integrated a creative platform that reduced costs by $500K.
I am currently an Analytics Engineer with expertise in SQL, Python, dbt, Airflow, Snowflake, and Looker. I design and optimize data pipelines, conduct deep-dive analysis, and create dashboards that translate complex metrics into clear business insights. My focus is on scalability, cost efficiency, and enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization.
I am open to data engineering, analytics engineering, and data analyst roles. If you have a challenge that involves building, analyzing, or improving data systems to drive results, I’d love to connect.
