Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRidge Coffman is a senior solutions engineer with nine years of experience building resilient ETL pipelines, automations, and data-driven applications, currently at Databricks. He blends a mechanical engineering foundation with hands-on analytics engineering to design full-stack data solutions that prioritize sustainability, governance, and scalability. At Shaw Industries he led enterprise data and generative AI initiatives—shipping an internal AI chat app and integrating AI into customer service to dramatically cut response times and improve accuracy. Comfortable across on-prem and cloud ecosystems (Databricks, AWS, Azure) and CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Terraform, Ridge is equally adept at stakeholder engagement and technical delivery. He’s the kind of engineer who pairs process-improvement rigor from manufacturing with modern data tooling to turn ambiguous business problems into repeatable, production-grade systems.
