Data Engineer (Contract)
A production data platform powering marketplace APIs, with multi-source Python ingestion normalized into an Apache Iceberg/S3 lakehouse, orchestrated by Dagster and served via FastAPI. The platform includes incremental SQLMesh transformations with canonical grains, column-level lineage, schema guards, and parity tests, as well as statistical pricing data-quality controls and an AI-assisted analytics interface with guarded SQL execution and live-source fetchers.
- Owned and operationalized the production data path behind marketplace APIs, normalizing multi-source Python ingestion into Apache Iceberg/S3 through Dagster orchestration and FastAPI serving;
- Rebuilt the production transformation layer with incremental SQLMesh models in dbt syntax, enforcing canonical grains, lineage, schema guards, and parity tests;
- Built statistical data-quality controls for pricing data using bimodal-distribution detection;
- Built a production AI-assisted analytics interface with the Cursor Agent SDK, including guarded SQL execution and live-source fetchers.
