About

Alex Huggler

Senior Data Engineer · Analytics Engineering · Dallas, TX

I'm a senior data and analytics engineer with six years at AT&T building production data platforms on Azure and Databricks. My work spans PySpark ingestion, dbt analytics models, BI delivery, streaming systems, and data quality. I specialize in turning ambiguous fraud, revenue, and operational problems into reliable pipelines and decision-ready analytics.

Recent impact: $900K+/yr fraud-loss reduction identified or enabled, analytics ownership of a $2.2B portfolio. Currently focused on streaming, lakehouse patterns, and applied AI for data engineering productivity. I treat tests, observability, runbooks, and data contracts as part of the deliverable.
