About
Hey there, welcome to NextValData! I'm Dominick, and this is my personal blog. I love data, and learning new things and new ways of looking at the world.
Professionally, I am working as a Senior Engineer, developing API integrations, automating reporting, and configuring and deploying cloud services. I'm lucky to be on a team with awesome and dedicated people, where we create solutions for a whole range of SaaS, PaaS, and legacy system challenges. Day-to-day, I get to use a lot of great technology like Python, SQL, Spark, and Airflow, sometimes on cloud platforms like GCP, Azure, and AWS.
Whether I'm building out ETL/ELT pipelines, setting up data warehouses or data lakes, or even diving into the data from that classic 'keyring of thumb drives someone found in a drawer,' my aim is to make sure data is useful. One of the most important steps in making this happen, is understanding what colleagues and stakeholders need from these solutions. Or as I like to say, Let's make it nice for the people.
