Top SchoolJoseph Rothrock is a Senior Data Engineer with 14+ years of experience modernizing data platforms and building production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines, currently driving data engineering at AngelList from San Francisco. He specializes in Snowflake, dbt, Python and the modern data stack, with deep operational experience in Snowflake administration, Airflow orchestration, and real-time ingestion via Snowpipe. Joseph has led teams and projects across startups and enterprises—bootstrapping dbt workflows, implementing observability with Datadog, and optimizing price/performance tradeoffs on cloud data warehouses.
