Building secure, enterprise-scale data platforms and FinOps-optimized AI architectures.
Hi, my name is Evan. 👋
With 11+ years of experience across Senior and Principal level roles in both Data Engineering and Data Analytics, I specialize in modernizing legacy ecosystems (Teradata, Oracle, Hadoop) into scalable, cloud-native platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Currently, I am architecting Serverless Data Pipelines and Applied Generative AI systems—turning massive enterprise datasets into actionable, grounded intelligence using open table formats (Apache Iceberg) and production-grade LLMs (Claude 3, Titan). My core focus remains bridging the gap between complex architectural design and tangible business value.
An event-driven, LLM-powered microservices architecture for deterministic marketing orchestration and predictive customer intelligence on Google Cloud.
- Stack: FastAPI, Vertex AI (Gemini Flash), BigQuery ML (K-Means), Streamlit, Cloud Run.
- Impact: Decouples AI reasoning from data extraction using an Orchestrator pattern to eliminate LLM hallucinations, enabling zero-trust campaign generation and real-time audience viability forecasting.
A serverless data engineering pipeline for streaming high-velocity cryptocurrency market data into a modern transactional data lakehouse.
- Stack: Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Apache Iceberg, AWS Glue, Amazon S3, Amazon Athena.
- Impact: Implements a scalable, low-latency streaming architecture capable of handling high-throughput financial data with zero idle compute costs and ACID transaction compliance.
An event-driven, serverless RAG pipeline deployed via AWS SAM, utilizing Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, and a stateless S3 FAISS index to extract insights from unstructured geological reports.
- Stack: Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3 Haiku & Titan), FAISS, Streamlit, Amazon S3, AWS SAM.
- Impact: Delivers grounded information extraction with a scale-to-zero architecture, eliminating idle compute costs by utilizing S3 as a stateless vector store.
An event-driven, serverless Medallion architecture on Google Cloud.
- Stack: Cloud Run, BigQuery, GCS, PySpark, Apache Iceberg, Looker Studio.
- Impact: Processes real-time GTFS telemetry from Transport for NSW into a modern lakehouse format with zero idle compute costs.
