Summary
Michael Trossbach is a Data Engineer with eight years of experience building and maintaining ETL pipelines and analytics infrastructure, currently focused on Airflow, PostgreSQL/Redshift, Matillion, and AWS at Leafly in San Diego. He’s led migrations from Alooma to Matillion, redesigned critical pipelines (including Google Search Console and SEMrush integrations), and overhauled a lab-results ingestion flow used for downstream image generation. A recent MS in Data Science from Loyola University Maryland complements practical experience with strong data modeling and Python/Pandas skills honed through academic and research projects. Michael brings an analyst’s rigor from a philosophy background and a knack for pragmatic automation—skills he applied to an event-driven Hubble image classification pipeline at STScI. Outside work he trains in jiu jitsu and pursues electronic music and animal ethics, reflecting a disciplined, curious approach to complex problems.
