Independent AWS data engineering & cloud architecture.

Build cloud data systems your business can actually trust.

Trashpandas helps small businesses, operators, and lean teams design AWS data platforms, build production pipelines, and fix systems that have become difficult to maintain.

trashpandas: We find value in messy data.

Design

AWS architecture shaped around the actual business and problem.

Build

Production pipelines, automation, and event-driven workflows.

Fix

Brittle systems, confusing architecture, and pipelines nobody wants to touch.

Services

Focused help for the data systems your business depends on.

Architecture reviews and technical advisory are part of the work, but the goal is simple: make systems easier to understand, operate, and scale.

Cloud Data Architecture

AWS data platforms, ingestion patterns, orchestration, and system design.

Data Engineering

Production pipelines, workflow automation, and event-driven systems.

Platform Modernization

Improve brittle pipelines and legacy workflows without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Understand the problem. Design the right approach. Build it cleanly. Leave you able to own it.

The Engineer

Hi, I’m Jordan.

I’m a data engineering lead with a background in industrial engineering, automation, analytics, machine learning, and cloud architecture. I founded Trashpandas to work directly with small businesses and lean teams that need experienced technical execution, whether or not they have an engineering team in-house.

I design and build cloud data platforms, pipelines, and event-driven systems on AWS, with a focus on making complicated systems easier to understand and operate.

The Philosophy

Valuable data is often hiding in messy systems.

Trashpandas helps people understand what they have, keep what works, and build something better.

The name is playful, but the work is careful: sort through the messy parts, preserve the useful pieces, and leave behind a system people can actually use.

Scrappy name. Thoughtful engineering.
