    "summary": "I am a Principal Solutions Architect and first EMEA go-to-market hire at dbt Labs. I partner with enterprises to deliver data platform transformations to support their data and AI ambitions, using dbt Platform on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and more.\n\nOver the years, I have worked with hundreds of companies including some of the largest and highly regulated enterprise in EMEA (DACH, UK, Nordics, Benelux, Spain, Israel, and South Africa). I operate as a Forward Deployed Engineer combining presales, solutions architecture, and hands-on development. I also rely on the strong relationships I build within my engineering and product orgs, as well as the marketing and the partner ecosystem.\n\nI draw from my experience as an ACM ICPC Programming Contest World Finalist, creative studies at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University, and software/data engineering jobs at finance, healthcare, and retail companies in New York City.\n\nUltimately what I enjoy the most is working to understand the challenges of others, and finding ways to create and deliver solutions that I can make a strong positive impact on. I particularly enjoy helping my engineering and product colleagues bring their new products to market while simultaneously helping my clients achieve their goals.",

One key activity was a the planning and executing of a 2-day on-site workshop with a successful multi-topic hackathon that incorporated participant feedback. During the time, I worked closely with the client CISO, principal architects, hyperscaler account teams, and SI partners to define target architecture, resolve security concerns and plan implementation. In addition, I ran webinars and built a BVA to show the value over competition and status quo.\n\nHighlight client - Private Equity firm: I worked closely with a Private Equity firm to introduce our new product offerings, dbt Fusion and dbt State, whose adoption cut database transformation time by 50% and also significant spend, which they presented the results at our user conference opening keynote.
