Data Engineer & Cybersecurity Analyst
I build secure data systems and intelligent pipelines that turn complex business problems into clear, actionable outcomes — with 10+ years spanning data engineering, cybersecurity, and product delivery.
Data Engineer. Security Practitioner. Builder.
I've spent 10+ years at the intersection of data, security, and product delivery — consulting for SMBs, leading agile teams for enterprise clients, and shipping software that scales. My work is grounded in making data trustworthy, systems defensible, and products useful.
I specialize in data engineering, pipeline architecture, and compliance-aware systems — with hands-on experience across HIPAA, NIST, PCI, and ISO frameworks. My security background (network engineering, pen testing, IAM) informs how I build: privacy and protection are design requirements, not afterthoughts.
Currently contracting as a Systems Analyst and Scrum Master for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts while running D'Amour Digital Consulting. Open to data engineering, data privacy, and cybersecurity roles.
