Data Engineer | AI Enablement Engineer | Optimizing data pipelines and AI workflows

Passionate about optimizing workflows: Data, people, my spice cabinet, everything! I care a lot about optimizing, not purely for efficiency, but broadly optimizing the way we work with data and each other, and optimizing the chances of creating something great. AI has been the greatest force for optimizing introduced potentially ever, even now let alone its unlimited potential (for better and potentially for even worse). At the same time, even outside of moral and long-term concern, AI use right now has a ton of pitfalls and friction points that prevent effective utilization. This is true for the engineer who bounced off Cursor when it deleted all their tests using Auto in agent mode, and it's true for the enterprise unsure how much they can trust even Zero Data Retention providers of AI tooling when it's so hard to really lock down internet use. The biggest opportunity I see for my own impact is on tackling those friction points, and optimizing the use of the single biggest optimizer the world has seen. Also, I am on Team Canada for quadball!
