Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLakeida Sprenkle is a hands-on data engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling modern data platforms, currently directing an 8-person cross-functional data team at ShiftKey. She was the company’s first data hire and grew the function from solo contributor to a full-stack practice covering ingestion, modeling, BI, QA, and analytics while owning architecture and vendor choices. Lakeida is pragmatic about processes—introducing RFC reviews, sprint cadences, incident management, and unit testing—to make engineering predictable and reduce ambiguity. She has deep technical chops across Snowflake, dbt, Airflow/Fivetran, Monte Carlo and observability patterns, and designs modular dbt architectures focused on performance and cost tracking. Comfortable toggling between hands-on pipeline work and strategic partnership with product, engineering, and compliance, she prioritizes data quality for sensitive PII/PHI use cases. Her background in software engineering and healthcare/enterprise integrations gives her a rare blend of system-level discipline and practical, stakeholder-focused delivery.
