TREVER
ALEXANDER

Data Engineering Manager

By day I architect the data pipelines that enterprises run on — turning terabytes of legacy chaos into clean, cloud-native infrastructure across Healthcare, TMT, Manufacturing, Government & Retail. Off the clock, I'm running roads across 29 states, collecting passport stamps across 5 continents, and finding stories worth capturing through a lens.

Data engineer. Consultant. Runner. Traveler. Storyteller.
