Corey Leavitt

I am a Data Platform Architect and Engineering Leader with 10 years of experience building end-to-end data infrastructure. I specialize in bridging the gap between high-level application logic, complex ETL pipelines, and secure cloud environments. I step in to solve severe architectural bottlenecks, optimize backend performance, and replace expensive legacy systems with modern, in-house solutions.

Core Services I Offer:

Data Engineering & Orchestration: I design and deploy robust ETL pipelines using self-hosted orchestration tools like Prefect on Docker Swarm, consolidating highly complex data sources into single observable systems.


Cloud & Security Architecture: I architect secure, hybrid migrations to Azure SQL Managed Instance, implementing Entra ID, service principals, and zero-trust authentication.


High-Performance Backend Optimization: I build custom Rust applications utilizing Foreign Function Interfaces (FFI) and PyO3 where necessary to eliminate performance bottlenecks and replace proprietary binaries.

Enterprise Cost Reduction: I specialize in evaluating and replacing costly third-party integrations—including successfully replacing a $350K/year vendor with a superior in-house analytics platform.
