Principal Data Operations Engineer specializing in data governance and cloud database architecture across regulated financial services and insurance. I built an automated classification system that labelled 1.5 million database columns and bound protection to the result, work featured by Dagster and published as a first-author IEEE paper. I can speak to sensitive-data classification at scale, the cost and accuracy tradeoffs of using LLMs for governance work, access-control architecture and how it decays, and what actually happens inside a platform team when an industry-wide breach is announced.
