Jenna Jordan
Data Engineer in practice, Data Librarian at heart
Senior Consultant
Data Management
Analytics8
As a data engineer, I use SQL and python to wrangle data into shape. I create and maintain the pipelines that keep high-quality data flowing to vital dashboards, reports, and published data. I design data systems that house and integrate data from a multitude of sources - cleaning, munging, and reshaping along the way.
As a mission-driven data engineer from the civic tech space, I choose to work on projects that will have a positive impact on society. The data and systems that I work with have the potential to improve people’s daily lives when handled with care and integrity.
While I am continually learning new tools in the data engineering space, my data work will always be grounded in information science. I’m proud to say that I learned how to code at library school - and I will forever be grateful to my MSLIS degree for providing the foundation of all the technical work that I do.
I am also a knitter, a dog mom to my adorable rescue Bella, a board gamer, and a voracious reader of all things sci-fi & fantasy.
