Troy Ascher

Data Engineer

I build data pipelines that don't break at 2am. Former HRIS analyst who spent five years in China, then came back and got really into data engineering. Now I work with Snowflake, dbt, and SQL to make data infrastructure that actually works.

Want to work together?

I'm interested in opportunities where the data work actually matters: improving healthcare, making systems more efficient, or just building infrastructure that helps people do their jobs better.
