Snowflake + dbt Data Platform
Built the enterprise modern-data platform from scratch — Snowflake + dbt with CI/CD and DataOps adopted as the company baseline, plus sub-second CDC replacing batch ETL.
Snowflake dbt CDC Data Platform
From zero to platform
A 100-year-old regulated utility with no modern data platform. I architected and built one: Snowflake + dbt, CI/CD, Git workflows, and engineering standards that became the enterprise baseline.
Highlights
- 90% improvement in analytical workload execution vs. on-prem SQL Server
- Sub-second CDC streaming from Oracle and SQL Server via Qlik Replicate — replacing 24-hour batch ETL and saving ~$300K/yr
- 30+ enterprise data products; a Power BI Center of Excellence that cut time-to-insight 60%
- Reclassified Snowflake spend as Direct Materials to enable CapEx treatment
