Tad Taylor is a pragmatic data engineer and systems administrator with 11 years of hands-on experience designing, optimizing and automating relational databases, networks and server environments for municipal and product teams. He brings deep T-SQL/SQL Server expertise (views, stored procedures, temporal tables), experience with C#, Python and automation tooling, and a proven track record of improving user productivity through practical scripting and report enhancements. Tad has led network hardening and consolidation efforts—recommending and configuring a Sophos UTM and moving Wi‑Fi to a centrally managed Unifi system—to boost security, segmentation and observability. Comfortable across the full stack of infrastructure, applications and end-user support, he pairs technical fixes with user training to reduce support load and cut costs. Based in Eugene, Oregon, he combines municipal IT experience with a background in test automation and optics, giving him a diagnostic mindset useful for both data pipelines and hardware-adjacent systems.
