I've worked for scale-ups and startups including Klarna, DigiHaul (DHL Supply Chain), and Depict (Y-
Combinator) across the full data stack - cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, warehouses, AI/ML model training
and productionization.
In my current project at DigiHaul, I redesigned their data platform (Snowflake, DBT, Azure) to support real-time
analytics and cut data latency from hours to seconds across 150+ tables. Alongside this, I introduced data
governance across the platform (RBAC, lineage, etc.), rebuilt the DBT data model following dimensional
modeling best practices, and built a configuration-driven framework for data ingestion to integrate new data
sources without any code changes. In my previous roles I designed an MLOps platform at Klarna that reduced
time-to-market for new credit risk models from several weeks to days, and trained recommender systems at
Depict that boosted conversions for their e-commerce customers.
Recently, my work has moved more toward LLMs and agents: I built a Cortex AI chatbot for DigiHaul that lets
their team query their Snowflake data warehouse in plain English and get back charts and explanations, and
integrated AI coding tools across their data platform to raise code quality and speed up delivery.

Project history
DigiHaul is a digital freight platform - backed by DHL and now part of DHL Supply Chain.
- Realtime Analytics: Redesigned their complete data ingestion process, moving from batch ingestion to CDC streaming bringing end-to-end data latency from 24h down to under 60 seconds across 150+ tables.
- Snowflake Data Warehouse Redesign: Improved their data model using dimensional modeling best practices together with DBT and Snowflake features like Dynamic Tables. Implemented role-based security and permission management across the entire data platform. Moved to a fully automated deployment process with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps.
- Snowflake Cortex AI Chatbot: Built a text-to-SQL chatbot allowing their teams to query their warehouse by asking questions in plain English and get back detailed graphs and explanations.
- ML & Data Applications: Designed and implemented cloud infrastructure in Azure to deploy multiple ML applications into production. This included components like batch jobs, data pipelines, dashboards, APIs, and web apps.
- Databricks Platform: Set up their first Databricks environment as part of the transition to DHL Supply Chain, with scheduled daily DBT jobs handling the transformations. Github Actions deploy the full setup via Databricks Asset Bundles, validate DBT code, and generate documentation.
- AI Tooling: Introduced AI coding tools across the data engineering team to improve quality and speed up delivery of new features.
Depict is an AI-powered product discovery platform for e-commerce, backed by Y Combinator.
- Recommender Systems: Extended the in-house ML pipeline and recommender framework to support personalized product recommendations in real time.
- NLP & Clustering: Improved cross-sell recommendations using BERT, UMAP, and DBSCAN to identify product groups.
- Customer Integrations: Supported customer calls as a forward-deployed engineer and integrated several online shops with the Depict platform.

Flowbox is a SaaS startup offering a User-Generated Content platform for e-
commerce brands.
- Snowflake Data Platform: Designed a cloud-native data platform from scratch on Snowflake and AWS (Glue, Athena, MWAA) to power customer-facing analytics, handling millions of daily tracking events.
- Stream Processing & ELT: Built batch and streaming data pipelines to ingest high-volume event data into the warehouse and transform it using both DBT and Spark.
- DevOps & IaC: Introduced AWS CDK for infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines, significantly simplifying deployments.
