Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Castillo is a value-driven principal data engineer with nine years of experience building resilient data platforms across consulting, startups, healthcare, and corporate environments. He combines hands-on engineering—from dbt and Terraform-led analytics architectures to productionizing clinical decision support—with people-first leadership that scales teams by raising the floor and extending the ceiling. Tim has led fractional data teams, developer advocacy at Dagster Labs, and now drives data initiatives at Chick-fil-A, emphasizing operational efficiency, incremental delivery, and pragmatic stopgaps. He translates complex domain problems (EHR, genomics, imaging, and retail analytics) into maintainable systems that empower stakeholders to do their best work. Not obvious from titles alone: he routinely blends training, hiring, and open-source contribution into delivery work to make change stick beyond any single project.
