Turn Your Messy Data into Business Value with Google Cloud.
As a Google Certified Data Engineer, I specialize in building robust, scalable pipelines that transform raw data into actionable insights, empowering your business to make smarter decisions faster.
Let's Build Together
How I Can Help
Expert data engineering services designed to build a solid, scalable foundation for your business on Google Cloud.
Scalable Data Ingestion & Pipelines
Stop manually wrestling with CSVs and messy APIs. I build automated, reliable pipelines that deliver clean data when and where you need it.
- Automated ETL/ELT from APIs, databases, and files.
- Real-time (Dataflow/PubSub) & batch solutions.
- Built-in data quality checks and error handling.
Google Cloud Architecture & Consultation
Build a solid foundation on GCP that is secure, scalable, and cost-effective from day one. Don't just guess; architect with intent.
- Modern data architecture design (BigQuery, Cloud SQL).
- FinOps review to optimize and predict cloud costs.
- Security, IAM, and networking best practices.
DataOps & Infrastructure Automation
Treat your infrastructure like software. I help you move from fragile manual deployments to automated, secure, and repeatable workflows.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
- CI/CD pipelines for data apps (Cloud Build/GitHub).
- Automated security scanning (CVEs) and monitoring.

Hi, I'm Mike.
Google Certified Data Engineer
I’ve spent over a decade navigating the complex IT landscape of the financial industry. I get energized by tough data problems and enjoy turning that complexity into clear, actionable solutions.
I specialize in Google Cloud and modern data technologies like Airflow, Spark and Apache Beam. I enjoy working closely with clients to deliver solutions that are not only technologically sound but also drive real business value.
When I'm not architecting data solutions, you can find me exploring the Greater Toronto Area with my young family, always on the lookout for the next great park or local adventure.
Core Technical Skills
A summary of my technical expertise.
Data Engineering
I specialize in designing and building robust data pipelines. My expertise lies in efficiently extracting data from diverse sources, including relational databases and modern REST or GraphQL APIs, and reliably loading it into target destinations for analysis.
Data Analytics
Once data is clean and structured, I transform it into compelling dashboards and insightful reports. By visualizing key metrics, I empower businesses to make smarter, data-driven decisions, uncover opportunities, and track performance with clarity.
Cloud Cost Management
I analyze and optimize cloud infrastructure to deliver immediate and long-term cost savings. By implementing FinOps best practices, right-sizing resources, and re-architecting for serverless and spot instances, I ensure your cloud spend is directly tied to business value, not waste.
