// about.me
I'm Derrick — a data engineer and scientist building production-grade data systems by day and exploring data as a creative medium after hours. I believe data is one of the most powerful storytelling tools of our time.
When I'm not building pipelines I'm riding motorcycles, DJing across Atlanta, and documenting the whole journey publicly through Derrick's Own Flow.
This portfolio is the intersection of technical rigor and creative ambition — proof that you can be both.
Open to full-time roles, freelance projects, and data art collaborations. If the work is interesting, I want to hear about it.
