Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Brenstuhl is a Senior Data Platforms Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of experience turning disparate operational systems into reliable, analytics-ready platforms. He’s built data warehouses, CI/CD for dbt, serverless ingestion pipelines, and orchestration with Step Functions, and was the first data hire at Extend where he transformed DynamoDB and multiple third-party sources into tidy columnar data. Scott pairs hands-on engineering (Python, R, AWS, dbt) with product-minded data enablement—mentoring analysts, documenting dev environments, and automating workflows that save teams hours daily. His background in operations and Salesforce automation gives him a rare cross-functional lens for shipping data solutions that align with business processes. An active contributor to the ropensci/skimr project, he’s improved type handling in R summary tooling, reflecting both practical production chops and attention to data nuance.
