Forward-Deployed Engineer at Altitude Ventures and founder of Tennessee Data Lab. Nine years across data engineering, operations, and M&A, building the systems teams run on, from PE-backed operators to small businesses.
About
Operator turned data engineer.
I started in operations, running high-growth markets and learning businesses from the floor up. The throughline never changed: the answer was usually sitting in the data, if someone could get it out and put it in front of the right person.
These days I am a forward-deployed engineer. I embed with PE-backed teams and build the whole stack, from Python pipelines that pull data out of systems with no API (EMRs, legacy ERPs, you name it), to a warehouse on Microsoft Fabric, to the Power BI and automation people actually use. The reporting that used to take an analyst days now refreshes on its own, and the hours that frees up go to the questions nobody has had time to answer.
I work from first principles and pick the right tool for the job, not the familiar one. The problem is almost never the industry: messy data is messy data. I have gone deepest in specialty healthcare and PE-backed operations, but the same playbook works anywhere, and I like helping small businesses get the same leverage. Nashville based, family first, Eagle Scout, and happiest when something that used to be broken just quietly works now.

Tools I reach for
What I'm building
Ventures, products, and the systems behind them.
A few of the things I am building right now, from a consulting practice to a product to the data platforms that run quietly in the background.
Alpha Victor
Altitude Ventures' tech & ops initiative
The management and technology consulting arm I co-lead at Altitude Ventures. Forward-deployed data engineering, analytics, and AI operations across orthopedic, pain, autism, and behavioral health portfolio companies.
End-to-end data platforms
From trapped data to decisions
End-to-end analytics stacks on Microsoft Fabric: Python pipelines that pull data out of stubborn source systems like EMRs with no API, a bronze, silver, gold warehouse underneath, and Power BI that every level of the business opens.
Bid Estimator
AI bid intake for small businesses
A product that turns a contractor's inbound bid emails and PDFs into structured, reviewable estimates. Built for small businesses, starting with my family's glass company in Tennessee.
