About
Architecture and implementation, owned by one senior engineer.
I’m Kevin Damato, a senior data engineer with 10+ years building production platforms across healthcare, property data, clean energy, international development, and financial services.
Healthcare is a deep specialization, but the through-line across my work is the same: complex, high-stakes data that needs to perform beyond the demo.
