Experience

Aug 2024 to Present

Data Engineer II at Thinking Machines Data Science

Builds AI agents, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure for enterprise clients across financial services, investment management, education, and compliance.

A major Philippine bank

Led the data products workstream in a year-long engagement, partnering with C-suite leaders, directors, and business units to define and ship priority data products on Azure Databricks.
Designed and productionized a daily Single Customer View pipeline consolidating ~15 million records from four enterprise systems into ~7 million unique customer keys used across 10+ business units.
Built a probabilistic record-linkage engine with Splink that surfaced 748,000 candidate duplicate pairs missed by exact matching, with a five-tier confidence framework validated at >99.9% accuracy.
Cut Single Customer View runtime from over 4 hours to under 1 hour and co-designed a Next Best Product pipeline covering 12 product types and four customer segments.

15M → 7M: records consolidated to unique customer keys
748,000: duplicate pairs surfaced by record linkage
>99.9%: five-tier confidence accuracy
4h → <1h: pipeline runtime
