[{"content":"Hello! #Thanks for stopping by.\nI\u0026rsquo;m a senior data engineer. My career has primarily involved being handed flaming messes and handing back something much less painful to hold onto.\nI contribute to businesses by simplifying systems. I pride myself on net-negative LOC contributions to codebases. My favorite color on GitHub is red.\nThis philosophy applies to code just as much as cloud compute, stale services, and meeting invites. The speed of building \u0026amp; scaling organizations quickly often comes at the cost of ugly messes and inefficiencies. I love to clean those up.\nRemoval is preferred, but I equally love building. Whether it\u0026rsquo;s going zero-to-one on a new system, or extending an existing pipeline, I\u0026rsquo;ve proven myself decently good at getting up-to-speed on complex systems and making valuable contributions that last, quickly.\nYou would be amazed at how little survives a few rounds of \u0026ldquo;why?\u0026rdquo;\nCurrently senior-data-engineering at ApartmentIQ, working primarily on Daylight, AIQ\u0026rsquo;s Revenue Management solution. It\u0026rsquo;s the best in the industry and I\u0026rsquo;m not just being a yuppie.\nDoes any of that resonate with you? #I\u0026rsquo;m exploring opportunities in independent analytics, data pipeline, and cloud consulting. I love to help smaller teams stand up the data systems they need to operate with confidence without building an entire data vertical.\nIf that\u0026rsquo;s something you\u0026rsquo;re doing, I\u0026rsquo;d love to hear from you. Get in touch!\nThat said, connecting with people for whatever reason is always a joy. Feel free to reach out to me just to say hi, talk shop, whatever!\n","date":null,"permalink":"https://www.kollinmendoza.xyz/about/","section":"Kollin Mendoza","summary":"","title":"About Me"},{"content":"","date":null,"permalink":"https://www.kollinmendoza.xyz/categories/","section":"Categories","summary":"","title":"Categories"},{"content":"Hey, wasn\u0026rsquo;t technology supposed to make our lives easier?
