Eddy Z.
Senior Staff Engineer, Data and Analytics @ Kinaxis
About
At Kinaxis, my focus as a Staff Developer in Cloud Analytics has been on innovating our data platforms and driving significant cost savings. Our team created an in-house data platform on Google Cloud leading to annual savings of $240,000+ . My competencies in implementing a modern data stack consisting of dbt, Github Actions, and Big Query have been instrumental in deploying a trusted data warehouse, streamlining the developer experience, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to build operational dashboards in Grafana. Since deploying our Finops metrics dashboard, our Finops team was able to reduce unit economic costs by 30% in our cloud platform. Prior to Kinaxis, my role in data engineering at The Home Depot Canada involved maintaining data pipelines and ingesting data into Google Cloud, where I honed my skills in Alteryx, Python, and Big Query. This experience has ingrained a strong foundation in data science and BI solutions. Alongside my work, I generated substantial 5 figure savings through query optimization in BigQuery.
