Marnie Gordon
Thinker. Problem Solver. Data Nerd.

Boise, ID USA

About Me

Senior Data Engineer with deep experience in MSSQL Server and Elastic stack. Background in application development and systems analysis. Senior Data Analyst with advanced SQL experience. Experience in data modeling and schema design for custom application development, data warehousing, and analysis. Observability Engineer, with experience designing and developing an observability program in support of software development and data services teams.

My happy place is in the ‘thinking’ parts of the job: the problem solving, the solution design, the strategic thinking, the troubleshooting. I have excellent communication skills, and great people skills. I'm a good listener, and I hear both what you're saying and what you mean. I understand both what you asked for, and what you really need.

Objective

Secure a remote or hybrid position where my creativity and unique skills and experience will be respected and put to use identifying and solving problems and helping others do the same; where I can be part of an organization and with people I respect on a mission I believe in.
