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.
Stuff I'm Proud Of
Some numbers from real projects
Snowflake Cost Reduction
Built a Python/Snowpark framework to automatically optimize queries
Faster Pipelines
Through refactoring legacy SQL and moving to modern architecture
In China
Learning Mandarin, getting two degrees, and figuring things out
What I Work With
The tools I use every day to build stable, performant data infrastructure
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.
