A little help goes a long way.

If you need extra part-time support from a data infrastructure expert, I can help.

Even if data is the heart of your business, it’s not always the right time to build a data engineering team in-house. Hiring and retaining full-time data engineers is expensive, and sometimes there just isn't enough budget to hire them, or enough work in the pipeline to keep them consistently busy.

I’ll integrate myself into your team, work within your technology stack, and build solutions from proven components that your team will be able to understand and maintain for years to come. When you’re ready to take the leap and build out your data engineering team, they’ll have a solid foundation to build on.

I'm Alex Rasmussen, a freelance data engineer with over 15 years of experience solving data infrastructure problems of all shapes and sizes in both industry and academia.

As an early member of a couple fast-growing startups, I've worn many hats - individual contributor, tech lead, manager, and executive - and I bring that breadth of experience to my work with my clients.

... Alex has such breadth of knowledge in data subjects that it’s hard to believe how much depth he has as well. If you need an anchor to stabilize your data domain and advise while you build up that function, Alex can help.
