Hi, I’m Chip. Thanks for checking out my website! I hope you have found something here interesting or useful.
Most of my career has been spent in data engineer roles, building pipelines to extract, clean, transform, and move large amounts of data. In the past I’ve focused on web crawl and extraction of structured data, while currently I’m working on streaming pipelines primarily used for sending job recommendation emails at ZipRecruiter. I find there’s a seemingly unlimited supply of messy and disorganized data available in the the digital realm, so there’s tremendous value that can be unlocked if one can effectively wrangle it. Yee haw!
Outside of my day job, I see myself as a bit of a generalist. I enjoy exploring new topics, broadening my skillsets, and building small apps and games. I’ve designed and developed web apps, mobile apps, browser extensions, frontend components, and backend libraries. I got my degrees in Math, Computer Science, Physics, and Business and enjoy reading history, business, biographies, and adventure books.
