Hello, I'm
Abdirahman Ali.
Senior Analytics Engineer. I build the infrastructure that turns raw data into decisions.
I'm a data professional with 5+ years of experience building analytics infrastructure at tech companies. My work spans the full stack: data modeling in dbt, warehouse design, and the pipelines connecting all of it.
Most of what I build ends up in the hands of non-technical teams. The goal is always the same: make it easy for people to answer their own questions, without filing a ticket and waiting a week.
Away from work, I'm deep in NBA statistics. Deep enough that I built a full data pipeline to analyze 70 years of player data. You can explore it below.
I'm also getting deeper into AI tooling. Looking to take on more projects with Claude Code and explore how it can be used to solve harder, more interesting problems.
NBA Analytics Pipeline
End-to-end data pipeline covering 70+ years of NBA history
Built a transformation pipeline processing NBA player statistics through a medallion architecture (staging, intermediate, marts). Handles multi-team trades and edge cases across every season since 1949. Calculates 15+ advanced metrics including True Shooting %, PER-36, and usage rates to produce analytics-ready datasets for downstream reporting.
Daily Job Listings Digest
Automated job scraping and email digest via JSearch API
Built a Python automation that pulls fresh job listings daily from the JSearch API (RapidAPI), filters by location and role criteria, formats results into a styled HTML email with job title, company, location, salary range, and apply links, then sends the digest automatically via Gmail SMTP.
